Thank you for sharing your detailed history. Acne since adolescence is quite common, especially in females, and it often has a hormonal and constitutional background. I understand your concern that while one pimple heals, another appears â this can feel frustrating, but let me clarify a few important points.
Firstly, in homeopathic treatment, especially for chronic conditions like acne, the aim is not just to suppress existing pimples but to correct the internal imbalance (hormonal, metabolic, and skin response). In the initial 1â2 months, it is quite common to see partial improvement with occasional new eruptions. This does not necessarily mean the treatment is ineffective. In fact, mild recurrence or shifting of lesions can indicate that the body is responding, but the remedy may still need fine-tuning.
Regarding your current medication: combination remedies like Allen A34 and multiple liquid medicines can provide symptomatic relief, but they are often not sufficient for complete control in long-standing acne cases. If new inflamed pimples (especially on nose and cheeks), whiteheads, and bumps are still appearing, it suggests that your constitutional remedy may need adjustment rather than just increasing dosage. Increasing dose frequency without proper case review is usually not recommended.
Ideally, you should continue the treatment for at least 2â3 months before expecting stable control, but with a proper follow-up every 3â4 weeks. During follow-up, factors like stress, diet (especially oily/spicy food, dairy, junk), menstrual cycle, sleep, and skin type should be reassessed, and medicines should be modified accordingly.
At this stage, I would not advise immediately switching to a dermatologist unless your acne becomes severe (painful cystic acne, scarring, or widespread infection). Since you are already seeing some improvement, it is better to continue with a more individualized and properly guided homeopathic treatment plan rather than over-the-counter combinations.
Additionally, maintain basic skin care:
Use a gentle face wash twice daily
Avoid excessive touching/picking of pimples
Keep hair and pillow covers clean
Stay hydrated and manage stress
If you would like a more targeted and faster improvement, a detailed case evaluation with a qualified homeopathic doctor can help in selecting the correct constitutional remedy, which can reduce recurrence and improve skin texture as well.
With the right approach, acne can be effectively controlled and gradually reduced.
Take care
