Hello doctor,

I am a 28-year-old girl suffering from the wrong type of acne and color acne scars, oily skin, open pores, and blackheads for the past five years. I have regular menses and need suggestions for a good homeopathic remedy. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. Take neem leaves, if available nearby you, and make a paste of it after crushing them. Add a pinch of turmeric powder to it, apply this paste to your face, and wash it with normal water after fifteen minutes. Use it regularly or on alternate days if there is dryness of the skin. It will give you good results.

For acne scars, apply Aloe vera gel two times a day regularly. It will help in lightening them. For blackheads, use an oatmeal scrub and clean them regularly. Do not use harsh soap on the face. Use a good face wash. Protect the skin from direct sunlight. Cover your face while going outside. Drink plenty of water daily. Avoid excessive spicy, oily, junk food and caffeinated drinks.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
