        abstract = {Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous units, affecting over 90% of adolescents. Beyond physical scarring, it often causes significant psychological distress and social withdrawal. While conventional treatments exist, patients frequently seek holistic alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of individualized constitutional homoeopathic medicine in treating acne and improving the quality of life in teenagers.
Methods: An experimental, open-label, prospective study was conducted with 30 teenage participants (aged 13–19 years) suffering from various grades of acne vulgaris. Participants were selected based on specific inclusion criteria. Individualized homoeopathic medicines were prescribed following a detailed constitutional case-taking, repertorization, and miasmatic analysis. The primary outcome measures were the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) for physical severity and the Acne Quality of Life (Acne-QoL) questionnaire for psychosocial impact. Assessments were performed at baseline and at monthly intervals for six months.
Results: Out of 30 participants, a statistically significant reduction in GAGS scores was observed (p < 0.001) by the end of the treatment period. Most cases (approx. 70%) showed more than a 50% improvement in lesion counts. Furthermore, a marked improvement was noted across all four domains of the Acne-QoL—self-perception, social role, emotional role, and acne symptoms. The most frequently indicated constitutional remedies included Nat-mur, Sulphur, Calcarea Carb and Pulsatilla},
