Inflammation triggered by the immune system response
Genetics and family history of acne.

Acne is a common skin condition that can have a significant impact on one’s physical appearance and self-esteem. By understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for acne, individuals can take proactive steps to manage their condition effectively and achieve clearer, healthier skin.
Homoeopathy Approach for Acne:
Homeopathy aims to address the root cause of acne, which may not only help reduce the recurrence of breakouts in the long term but also enhance the body’s ability to heal and regenerate skin cells. By treating the underlying imbalances, homeopathy focuses on preventing future flare-ups rather than just managing existing symptoms.
