Acne vulgaris

By Dr. Kishin Mulchandani

Acne vulgaris
Acne is chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicles. It is characterized by the formation of comedones, erythematous papules and pustules, less frequently by nodules or pseudocysts and, in some cases is accompanied by scarring.
The pathogenesis involves four major factors
Increased sebum production
An abnormality of the microbial flora.
Cornification of the pilosebaceous duct.
Production of inflammation.
The condition usually starts by the mid twenties. Acne incidence increased during puberty is due to the increased sebaceous activity. Acne develops earlier in females than in males which may reflect the earlier onset of puberty, but it usually is some what severer in boys. In twenties it gradually decreases and it again seen specially in women after the age of 26 or so.
Common occurance of acne at puberty is because of increased production of sex hormones, which makes the sebaceous glands hyperactive. Sebaceous activity is predominantly dependent on androgenic sex hormones of gonadal or Adrenal origin. Because of a deficiency in sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) androgen and progesterone are responsible for hyperplasia of the oil gland (eunuchs do not have oily skins) there is general agreement that plasma testosterone levels are not abnormally high in males with acnes..
Diet
Hereditary factor
Premenstrual flare
Sweating
UV radiation.
Psychogenic stree
Occupation
Constipation
Acne is not infectious
Location
Acne is polymorphic disease which occurs predominantly on the face, most frequently on the checks and in lesser degree on the nose forehead, and chin

Some facts to remembering

Some facts to remembering.
Some Physicians make a practice of cutting away a portion of the Cancerous growth after it has been partially killed by the escharotic, but I know from experience that when you touch a knife to a cancer it irritates it, makes it grow so much faster. Remember cancer is sleeping lion and you don't want to fool with it.
Watch the tounge and see if your patients are digesting their food property. If there is a coating on the tounge your Patient is not digesting the food he eats properly. The strength which should be derived from the nourishment isnot obtained. In order to make good blood your patient must have good digestion
If there is hardness or tension to the pulse it shows a contraction somewhere, you are not obliged to ask your patient if they are suffering from pain for the pulse tells you that fact by its tension.
If there is a yellow, greenish or cloudy appearance to the white of the eye you may be sure that there is forming, somewhere in the blood a toxic material. It shows that the glands of the body are not secreting properly.
In the last stage of cancer, if we find a dark red color to the tounge it tells us that there is an imperfect oxidation of the blood. This is an unfavourable symptom in cancer. The dirty, yellow coating on the tounge in cancer has a similar significance as it speaks very plainly of impaired digestion.
If you find transverse or perpendicular fissures on the tounge you may be positive that your patient has some form of kidney trouble which needs attention. You must examine the urine and determine what is the difficulty .any drain upon the system, whether caused by kidney trouble, diarrhea, leucorrhoea, dysmenorrhea, prolapsus uteri, ulceration of the os uteri, bronchitis, Haemmorrhoids or mental worry will cause a drain upon the system and weaken the vitality of your patient and also lessen the chance for cure..
The Physician who have had the best success with the medical treatment of cancer, are those men who are good prescribers.They know their materia medica from A to Z. Not the materia medica of Hare, Ellingwood, Kent, William Boericke, Clarke, Nash, but the whole realm of drug action They have a working knowledge of the materia medica of all the schools of medicine.
They have already had experience in general practice and. They have had experience in treating other chronic diseases besides cancer. They are men of good judgement and have confidence in themselves and believe in their remedies from this it will be seen that they treat successfully all complications which may arise in the treatment of any case of Cancer.

Nature cure for acne

A Natrul cure for Acne.
The skin is body's largest Organ. It is 2mm thick, weighs approximately 6/7 lbs, and has a very hard working life of its own. It is protective covering, guarding the body against bacteria, chemicals and foreign objects. It breaths, contains blood vessels, sebaceous glands ducts, nerves and hair follicles. It acts as a thermostat, retaining heat or cooling the body with its sweat glands. It absorbs the shock of blows to the body and through its receptive sensory organs keeps you in touch with the world. The most important part it plays is in giving beauty, personality and confidence to a person whose skin is radiant and clear without any blemishes.
Acne is the most common of all skin conditions and affects almost half of all teenagers. If you are afflicted remember that there are many others like you. You may be disgusted with your own appearance and you may be depressed. You probably think that you are being rejected by your friends, but don't let this feeling ruin your happiness. Cheer up. There is a lot that can be done today. But please don't mess around with chemicals which can only make matters worse. See a Homoepathician immediately.
Before you do that here are some useful tips on how to prevent acne and help your skin. With these you may not be able to prevent acne completely but you can certainly curtail them.
Your skin reflects your eating patterns. Certain foods may turn up on your skin in the form of spots and rashes Although your type of skin is determined by your genes, you can improve or aggravate your skin condition but what you eat. A simple rule is, your skin is oily eat a minimum of fatty and sugar foods, if your skin is dry eat dairy products, nuts vegetable oils, fresh fruits, fish and green vegetables are excellent.
The answer to this Is ,whenever dirty, Normally two or three times wash your face with oats or arrow root powder. For oily skin gram powder (chana dal Atta). (Besan,,) is best. While drying your face never run the towel too harshly.
What is bad for the skin?
Too much fatty and sweet food,
Overexposure to sun.
Inadequate protection against pollution.
Too much of washing.
Lack of sleep.
Not enough exercise.
Smoking, alcohol and drugs.
Acne should be treated on one to one basis, that is, each individual is different and may be suffering due to various causes, hence each should be treated differently. There are a few good biochemic and Homoeopathic medicines available which act as preventive and as skin tonics too.
Calc flour This is found in the surface of the bones and in the enamel of the teeth. It is also constituent of the elastic fibres and of the epidermis (skin layer) elastic fibres are found in the skin connective tissue and in the vascular walls.
The application of Facial creams will help till the internal deficiency of this tissue salt is adjusted. Calc flour 6x 3 pills/ Tablets three times a day will help a great deal of a skin tonic.
Silicea This is one of the most important components of the skin, hair and nails. It's deficiency weakens the skin layer and thus opens the way for bacteria to cause infection which leads to acne and pimples. Silicea when given in 6x potency helps in improving the defence mechanism of the skin. Silicea in s high potency 1m C will help in healing pimples or boils. It works in the primary stages of inflammation before pus discharge takes place.
Calc sul Here is an excellent remedy to follow Silicea for the treatment of acne pimples, and boils where pus and exudation has started. Calc sul in 1m potency in repeated doses helps in curing the suppuration very quickly.

Deficienciey of Calc Sulph results in the skin getting a tendency to supputate Calc sul, 6x will act as a preventive for pimples, boils etc.
There are many biochemic tissue salts which help in nourishing the skin but the above mentioned ones are the most effective basic salts. Therefore for, your your beauty treatments before going in for anything radical go in for s second opinion, see s Homoepathician who will help you by giving you your Constitutional Homoeopathic remedy.

Corns

Corns
You wince each time somebody steps on them, Corns, hard horny thickened patches usually situated about the toes or on the pressure points of the feet. You may even find them on hands of certain people such as manual labourers and housewives who have to do cooking, washing of utensils etc.Wherever they may be located, these tiny, seemingly innocent patches cause pain and succeed in making life miserable..
There are two types of corns, hard corn and soft corn.
Hard corns These have a hard, horny outer surface.
Soft cornes. In these, the out side layer of skin becomes soft and pulpy and is accompanied by marginal swelling. There may be a single or multiple formation of varying sizes. They are apt to be painful from pressure of the central corn on the sensitive papillae.
Causative factors.
Friction or pressure from tight or Ill fitting shoes or from the constant use of some hard implements, or pressure due to obesity.
Sports and corns
Many athletes and sportspersons from this problem which might even act as a major threat to their progress in sports. Cricketers, tennis football, hockey and volleyball players, gymnasts and even ballet dancers are all plagued by corns.
Treatment
In appearance a corn is so small and ordinary that most people think they can tackle it themselves. And how! Almost every trick under the sun has been tried, from burning it with Acid to cutting it off with a blade and even having it excited in a shoe shop. But excising a corn can lead to complications if proper aseptic care is not taken. Besides if, while excising, the deep corn Is not removed it may surface once again after sometime. Moreover, excising is best done by a surgeon. A few people even try corn caps. These give only temporary relief by removing the top portion of the corn and ignoring the inner part, which again develops into a big, thick corn. Fortunately or unfortunately, when all else fails most sufferers turn to a Homoeopath. It would be much simpler if they came to a Homoepathician in the initial stages of the problem rather than trying a varied assortment of potentially dangerous tricks and then turning up at the door of a Homoeopath. Correctly selected homoeopathic medicines give long term and permanent relief from this troublesome condition.
External treatment
Thuja 10% mother tincture and Hepericum 10 % mother tincture help in softening the corn and reliving pain.
Internal treatment
When internal treatment is given along with External care, the corn is rapidly dissolved or absorbed.
Thuja this is one of the most effective and specific medicene for corns it should be given in 200 C or 1M potency 5 pill s once a week.
All .cepa 200C if the corns are due to tight shoes there is a corn on heel ,toe and soles this is a perfect remedy.
Hepericum  If corn is situated on a nerve,it causes excruciating pain, specially on the tips of fingers and toes where the nerve supply is maximum. Hyp 1 M potency.
Ant crud This medicine has dissolved a number of multiple hard corns when given along with Thuja as an intercurent remedy. Thuja 1 M 5pills once every fortnightly. And Anti crud. On the remaining days of the week.
Nitric Acid This is specific given when there are hard corns with cracks which are very painful and bleed on touch or movement 200 potency 5 pills Tds .
There are many more homeopathic remedies for the treatment of corns but each one is prescribed upon the totality of the symptoms. Bit remember, before you use a knife on your corn, take a second opinion from your homoeopath.
