Homeopathic Treatment for Acne

Definition:

Acne or pimples is a common skin condition frequently seen in young individuals during teenage and youth years. This occurs mainly due to the action of hormones on the oil glands in the skin. The draining ducts of the oil glands get blocked and hence they are not able to drain the oil secretion. The oil and cells inside the blocked gland form a perfect environment for the growth of Propionibacterium acnes (the organism responsible for acne). Thus, it results in the formation of pimples or acne.

Acne usually occurs on the face, chest, back, shoulders and neck. It is one of the most common skin conditions. Although acne is not a serious threat to the health, yet it can lead to scarring and disfigurement of the face that can have a significant impact on the patient.

Various Forms of Acne

Whiteheads and blackheads (Comedones): White or black tiny bumps on the skin which are nothing but the enlarged and plugged hair follicles.

Pustules (pimples): Pus-filled lesions that may appear red at the base.

Nodules: Large, painful, solid lesions that are lodged deep in the skin.

Whiteheads and blackheads (Comedones): White or black tiny bumps on the skin which are nothing but the enlarged and plugged hair follicles.

Causes of Acne:

One of the most important causes is the increase in the male hormones (androgens) that occurs in boys as well as girls during puberty. These hormones cause increased production of sebum (oil) and hence result in acne.
Acne with Scaring on faceHormonal changes related to pregnancy or such changes caused by starting or stopping birth control pills can also cause acne. Another factor is heredity or genetics; there is evidence to support the fact that the tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. Apart from this certain drugs, including androgens and lithium, are also known to cause acne. Greasy cosmetics may cause further plugging of the follicles in the skin and hence can precipitate the onset of acne.
Majority of people who develop acne are between the ages of 12 and 25. For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their thirties; however, some people in their forties and fifties continue to have this skin problem.

Alopecia Areata ('baldness in spots') is a form of hair loss, usually from the scalp, although it can affect other areas of the body. The hair loss mostly remains limited to the scalp but in certain cases, it can extend to eyebrows, eyelashes, facial hair (beard, mustache), nasal hair and give rise to bald spots anywhere in the body. Alopecia Areata is a common condition which arises largely due to a mix of immunological and hormonal factors.
Alopecia Areata can affect both men and women and it is not uncommon to see children affected by this disorder. Approximately 2% of the general population worldwide suffers from Alopecia Areata. We come across many children with Alopecia Areata.

Understanding Alopecia Areata:

The hair is made up of a protein called keratin which is also the main constituent of nails. A specialized structure of the skin called ‘Papilla' produces the hair as shown in the figure. The papilla is surrounded by a sac-like structure called the ‘Hair follicle' which also surrounds rest of the hair root within the skin. The part of the hair outside the skin surface is called a shaft.
Alopecia Areata is considered to be an auto-immune condition in which the immune system of the body (which protects the body from bacteria and viruses) mistakenly attacks the hair follicles and destroys them. This leads to hair loss in the affected area.
The commonest presentation of Alopecia Areata is the appearance of bald patches on the scalp. In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches about the size of a small coin. The patient may have single or multiple such patches. In some cases, these patches may remain static, whereas in some cases the patches may spread to involve larger areas of the scalp. In some cases, hair loss is more extensive. Although it is not very common, the disease can progress to cause total loss of hair on the head (Alopecia Areata totalis) or complete loss of hair on the head, face, and rest of the body (Alopecia Areata Universalis).

Alopecia Areata monolocularis:In this condition, there is a single bald spot on the scalp.
Alopecia Areata multilocularis:In this condition, there are multiple bald spots on the scalp.
Alopecia Areata totalis:In this condition, the patient loses all the hair on the scalp.
Alopecia Areata universalis:In this condition, all body hair, including pubic hair, is lost.
Alopecia Areata barbae:In this condition, the disease is limited only to the beard region.

Traction alopecia:

In this condition, alopecia develops along the frontal margins and temporal margins of the scalp due to constant tension on the hair from being tied very tightly.
It is important for all cases of Alopecia Areata to rule out two conditions, which often accompany: 1. Underactive Thyroid (Hypothyroidism) 2. Diabetes Mellitus
All three of them are auto-immune diseases and their treatment and prognosis is dependent on control of all of them at the same time, as observed in a large number of cases treated.

Introduction:

Impetigo is one of the most common Pediatric Skin Complaints caused by Gram Positive Bacteria and highly contagious. It may occur as a primary infection of the epidermis or secondary to any trauma  or breach of the skin.

Prevalance:

• While the exact prevalence is unclear, it is estimated to account for 10% of pediatric skin complaints.

• It is more common 2-5 year old age group. Males and females are equally affected.

• It shows a seasonal tendency and is more prevalent in hot and humid season.

Types, Signs & Symptoms:

Depending on the signs & symptoms it is of 3 types-

1. Nonbullous Impetigo/Contagious Impetigo.

2. Bullous Impetigo.

3. Ecthyma.

1. Nonbullous/ Contagious Impetigo:

Nonbullous Impetigo often appears as vesicles that Coalesce and rupture and purulent exudates forms characteristic honey colored crust. Sores are not painful but they may be itchy. Touching and scratching the sores easily spreads the sores to the other parts of the body. Rapid spread and satellite lesions can occur with mild lymph-adenopathy. Systemic lesions such as fever is typically absent. The causative organism is mostly Group A Streptococcous.

2. Bullous Impetigo:

The bullous type exclusively affects the infants. It usually presents as painless, fluid filled blisters containing yellow or dark colored fluid. This may rupture exposing an erythematous  base and rim. Honey colored crusts are not formed in bullous impetigo. Usually no lymphadenopathy occurs, fever is a common presentation. Causative organism is is mostly staphylococcous  aureus.

3. Ecthyma:

Ecthyma, the nonbullous form of impetigo, produces painful fluid or pus filled sores with redness of the skin, usually on the arms and legs. After they break open, they form hard, thick, gray yellow scabs, which sometimes leave scars.

Causative Factors:

• Non bullous Impetigo is primarily caused by Group A Streptococcous (GAS).

• Impetigo is commonly caused by Staphylococcous aureus.

Predisposing Factors:

• Impetigo is more common in 2-5 years old age group. Male & female are equally affected, especially those attend school or day care.

• Malnutrition, Diabetes and Immune Suppression predispose individual to the development of Impetigo.

• It is also triggered by other viral infections such as herpes and varicella and other causes of skin breach such as burns, trauma and insect bites.

Transmission:

• The infection is spread by direct contact with the lesions or with nasal carriers. Touching or scratching of the sores may easily spread the infection to the other parts of the body.

• The incubation period is 1-3 days after exposure to the Streptococcus and 4-10 days for Staphylococcous. Dried streptococci in the air are not infectious to intact skin.

Diagnosis:

The diagnosis of impetigo is by rule a clinical diagnosis based on it’s appearance. If visual & clinical diagnosis is unclear a Culture may be done to test for resistant bacteria.

Differential Diagnosis:

Differential diagnosis must be made between other pruritic lesions common in pediatric age group, such as-

• Herpes simplex.

• Scabies.

• Atopic & Contact Dermatitis.

• Varicella Zoster.

• Cutaneous Candidiasis.

• Dermatophytodes.

• Bockhast Impetigo.

The characteristic Honey Colored crusts usually signify impetigo abd help it differentiating from other pruritic lesions.  

Prognosis:

• Approximately 20% of impetigo cases are capable of self resolution and antibiotics have shown to shorten the disease duration and avert complications that may affect the kidneys, impact the joints or result in acute rheumatic fever.

• Without treatment it resolves  in 2-3 weeks and with conventional treatment it resolves in 10 days.
