If one has acne, which are markedly aggravated by becoming heated i.e. after sporting activities there is aggravation of acne or new breakthrough of acne. Another indication for Causticum is that acnes are red and occurs in groups. Acne with marked reddish tint are defined as Acne rosacea for which there are about 15 medicines.
If one had acne only on any particular area of face i.e. only in forehead, chin, and nose and if one has acne only nose then he would be benefited by Causticum very much while individual with acne on forehead would be benefited by sulphur quite well.
Homoeopathic medicines are also given according to the severity of acne as well. Very mild form or stage of acne is comedones, which are skin colored bump and may black colored so called blackheads. There are some homoeopathic medicines including Calc. Sulf, Graphites, Sel, and Sulphur, which can remove the comedones on face. Comedones on forehead can be removed by Sulphur very effectively.
