Cystic Acne - HELP!
Hi, I have recently developed what I believe is cystic acne. I have 2 bumps on my chin that occasionally rise under the skin, hurt and never fully become pimples. I tried searching for a remedy but got two options. What should I use?adelima on 2003-12-31

John, Thanks for replying. Here are my answers to your questions:
They are recurrent and never at the same time, and although I have never tried documenting when each happens, I am almost positive it's at least one a month. The last time I can remember one coming up was last month around the 12th. I have one that came up again this week - Monday 29th Dec. It lasts just under a week, if I don't touch it, but it never really ever comes to the surface of the skin. They are quite sensitive to touch, and become sore and tender if I wear makeup all day and don't keep the area clean. When they go back down there is no real sign that it's there, unless you touch the area where you will feel a tiny ball. I try not to mess with the areas because I've found that keeping it clean helps prevent them from rising.
I am on a birth control pill, however I've had these for longer than I've been on the pill so there doesn't seem to be a relation there. I am on no other medication. My brother also told me this weekend that he gets them as well and I was able to feel a tiny ball under the skin of his forehead where his rises.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated John. I'd love to get rid of them completely. My skin otherwise is very good and these can be quite painful when they come up.
Thanks! Anya

Homoeopathy has good remedies for relieving the acne and see that further acne do not occur by relieving the tendency for formation of acne. We would need more symptoms to suggest the right remedy for you.

No complaints during menses...everything as normal as ever. No white spots on nails, or any other complaints for that matter. Just bumps..

adelina,
no other complaints?
what ill-nesses in family history (you reacall)? deaths from?
where family roots from? country?
what country you reside now?
if you have no other complaints --then it seem that treatment may bring up symptoms you may not want to deal with at this time--this usual course---small seemingly problem --all else fine--stability at moment--whom would want to dig deeper ---or whom want to experience deeper---
this case maybe best leave little bumps alone --no treat at all until strong symptoms appear that encourage you consent to go deeper--
now some will offer homoeopathic and allopathic pallitation based on single symptom--but then balance is upset and deeper you go --new problem--this is the way most operate --chasing single symptoms around and never eradicating ill-ness-
how deep you wish to go?
i will help as long as you understand ---

I have been watching for more symptoms. First question is where did the word "cystic" come from. Friend, doctor, book? To me acne is a word for facial pimples of various stages of aggrivation. When one has two little bumps and that is all...how can one program big problems to it? Maybe we may leave it as two little painful reoccuring bumps.
If you don't mind taking the chance that they will next rise into a pimple with a head to drain, ONE dose of SILICEA may help. This will either bring to a head or eliminate it. Another dose may be given the following month if necessary.
Silicea is deep and long-lasting. It is unnecessary to give often. The little bumps (or big) on the skin may be something trying to get out from inside. Sabra

I was online looking for a product that will help my acne, but then i found something that changed my entire life.
Although experts agree that cleaning up your diet and ensuring you have adequate levels of the basic nutrients can help with skin disorders, there are a few strong studies which show friendly bacteria (probiotics) greatly help this condition. In a West German study involving 23 atopic eczema patients and nine healthy controls, participants who took friendly bacteria such as acidophilus showed "clear cut changes toward normal ranges
Distinct clinical improvement was recorded in a majority of patients.
Reasons given for this improvement included the fact that toxins and foods, which are not processed completely, sometimes end up getting eliminated through the skin as acne or eczema. When intestinal friendly flora is compromised due to lifestyle abuses, the body will build up these undigested toxins which, in turn, show up as digestive and skin disorders.
Reading the section under digestion will further help you understand the powerful benefits probiotics and enzymes provide as well as their ability to help alleviate conditions such as acne.
The Greatest Vitamin in the World contains the most researched and stabilized form of friendly bacteria available.

Dear Joe
I read with interest your advise on acne and I will try it since I am suffering from the same problem.
I will apreciate your advise on a breat augmentation query if you can please.
I had breast augmentation done a year ago(2005 January), had to go for a 2nd procedure (2005 May) and Doctor is now threatening a 3rd procedure. The problem is the breast on the Right hand side:
1. Cavity shrinkage
2. Capsule formation
3. severe 'firming' of the breast
4. currently experiencing discomfort in the bust area, taking hypericum 200c for sharp needle pains usually experienced and it seems to help.
5. currently also experiencing discumfort because breast is bulging (due to cavity shrinkage)while the one on the Left is normal size and behaves like normal breast
Is it possible to resolve this problem without resorting to more surgery?
Can homeopathy give a solution? Currently using graphites 6C was told it is good for scar tissue and it has helped to dissolve it.
Look foward to your help.
