This request for homeopathic treatment for acne was made by a 29-year-old female from Delhi India who is suffering from cystic acne mainly on cheeks and chin. Upon questioning she described her skin eruption as that there is usually pain before she develops an cystic skin lesion without pus which tends to get pus and pain still remains at this stage and the pus begins to dry and after drying it leaves there a mark. When the lesion start to drying it is usually associated with itching.
Localized pain followed by breakthrough of cystic skin eruption on cheeks caused me to rule out shingles and the patient was asked about symmetry of lesions, history of chicken pox, and time span in which she is eruption free.
