Have got a skin problem, am 36 years of age and have been dealing with acne on the chin for the past 5 years. Only homoeopathic product tried are Comb D tissue salts, to no avail. Pimples rarely come to head, more like large blind pimples that are sore and hang around for several days. Diet is good, please help

too little info!

I had the same and had a Vega allergy test which showed that I was sensitive to citrus fruits. I don't care if I never eat another orange or lemon because from the moment I cut these out of my diet and all foods containing them I have a clear chin and none of the "blind" spots. If I have something with lemon juice in now I may get a small spot. I just wish I had known about my allergy 30 years ago!! I am not saying that this is your solution but it was mine! I expect my homeopathic constitutional remedy will have helped as well but the allergy test came first.

Ricky..antimon crudum...or CHAMOMILLA..

GM - I found you first suggestion interesting as it was one of the suggestions given to me when I was hooked up to a machine at the Irish Conference which takes information from a person gripping this metal hand grip!!! The machine also gave alsorts of information about herbs, potencies which are best for you, the state of your spine etc etc. I think it made coffee as well!!!!!! I never got round to looking it up. Maybe I will now!!!

Have just looked it up in Clarke!! As all remedies there are things that fit BUT I love the heat and the sun and my tongue is clean , not white. How important are these 2 symptoms because they are not me! It is not a remedy I know. The mentals in Clarke are definately not me!!!
Chamomilla?- If only I haad the "want of appetite"!!! I can't remember the last time I cried and I don't have a low pain threashold. There is even less in this that suits me.

Stop saying it dont suit you, cause it may suit you, for all you know..and i did not intend you to take it this way, its only a hint about two remedies that has acids agg, many more has that, app 100....lach too and if not gone, your not cured...dont discard a remedy cause this one or that one has told that i has that symptome..if you are so stupid, well then your no homeopath, and i loose completely respect for you.. sorry, i am blunt..and i dont mean any insult..get it, its only that , i too must be allowed to post without you finding sutch neagtive things to put on me..thanks.

GM - my comments about the remedies were NO reflection on you and were not meant to be negative about you. I apologise if you saw it that way. I looked them about in Clarke MM which is where I go to look anything up and saw things lots that was not me as well as some that was me and as you know that happens everytime we look up a remedy. As far as I am concerned a homeopath can not be objective about his/her self and needs to have a remedy prescribed by another homeopath. I have a few long standing symptons that I am fed up with at the moment - post nasal catarrh being one of them - and as soon as I have a moment I will be making an apppointment with my very experienced homeopath. I did notice that this symptom was to be found in the Ant C. I intended to tell her what the machine (!!!) came up with anyway.

I think we should let Melissa continue her thread in peace now don't you?
Regards, Ricky
