Question 1

how well does the homeopathic "calcarea sulphurica" work on acne?

Accepted Answer

Anecdotal: The magic of homeopathic remedies -- if they actually are what they are packed as -- comes from the interaction with the homeopathic physician and the caring, unhurried and detailed approach. This is the 21st century, and you'll get more reliable results with a scientific remedy. I start with Clindamycin with or without a retinoic acid derivative. Good luck.

Question 2

is calcarea sulphurica effective for healing an abscess?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: An abscess is a closed collection of pus (infection) and the treatment must be to open it up and let the pus out.  Antibiotics are used to treat the surrounding infected tissues and reduce spread of infection.  Your remedy may be of benefit as a prt of this treatment to stimulate the immune system to better fight the infection but I do not recommend that it be the only treatment.

Question 3

how well does the homeopathic calcarea sulphurica work on kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

See answer: Calcarea sulphurica is one of many natural homeopathic supplements that are "promoted" to be able to do many beneficial things in the body including helping kidney stones that are marketed with much hype and anecdotal support but no validated scientific evidence showing efficacy. Just like drugs, all supplements have the potential for an adverse reaction in a given individual. Buyer beware!

Question 4

how do i use goldenseal for my acnes?

Accepted Answer

Not proven: Goldenseal is a herb found from the northeast to Arkansas. It contains  berberine which has been used in several medical conditions without proof.  Most of the constituents  in Goldenseal are poorly absorbed and amounts off berberine are variable. There are much better treatments for acne available so check with a dermatologist

Question 5

i want to ask about the problem of acnes?

Accepted Answer

Acne Vulgaris: A very common condition that affects at least 80% of the population , at some point. Treatment can be topical or oral (if more severe) by a Dermatologist.

Question 6

how common is acne?

Accepted Answer

Expect it: Most teens will get some acne. It's unrelated to hygiene, touching, lifestyle, diet, sexuality, or much else. It can be managed but not cured until it goes away on its own. I was able to stop using medicine when I was 50. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in a few weeks, get with your personal physician.

Question 7

how do i treat acne?

Accepted Answer

MANY options!: Acne can be treated by a variety of different methods. One is by applying topical creams with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid active ingredients that dry up the skin and temporarily relieve visible acne. However, the problem is below the skin and so many chose antibiotics. They kill the bacteria that causes acne and again temporarily relieve symptoms. Accutane is the most effective long term.

Question 8

how to get off acne?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Start with benzoyl peroxide; if this isn't enough visit your physician, first line is topical retinoic derivatives &/or a topical antibiotic such as clindamycin. If still not sufficient, the right systemic antibiotic for you, perhaps tetracycline 500 2x/day. Dermatologist visit if still not clear. Good luck. All acne is manageable today.

Question 9

i need help with acne?

Accepted Answer

Many options.: Begin with benzoyl peroxide. It's effective and well tolerated for most people. Start with a low strength and increase if needed. With stubborn acne, add a second product with a different active ingredient, such as salicylic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid, or sulfur. But do see a dermatologist; in the long run it's way cheaper than trying all those "miracle" non-prescription concoctions.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

ACNE: Yogurt in not bad for acne. It has a lot of calcium instead of drinking milk for those with lactose intolerance.
