My Teen’s Skin Is Driving Them Crazy… and Me Too
Let’s be honest: few things create tension in the house like a teen struggling with acne. And if you’ve tried every cream, cleanse, or diet with no lasting results, maybe it’s time to look deeper—with homeopathy.
Because here’s what I want you to know: your teen’s skin is trying to tell a story. And I can help you both listen.
What Causes Teen Acne (and Why It’s Not Just About Hygiene)
Yes, hormones are real. So is poor sleep, stress, social pressure, and the complete emotional overwhelm of being a teen in today’s world.
Acne isn’t just skin deep. It often shows us what your teen can’t quite put into words yet:
- “I’m overwhelmed.”
- “I don’t know how to talk about it.”
- “Nothing feels right in my life right now.”
How Homeopathy Approaches Teen Skin Differently
Homeopathy doesn’t just treat “the skin.”
It treats the whole person—their patterns, their emotional landscape, their story.
When I see a teen for homeopathy I will ask questions like:
- When did the acne start?
- What makes it better or worse?
- How do they manage stress?
- What’s going on behind the breakout?
This isn’t about covering up symptoms. It’s about understanding what the body is trying to say—and responding with something that supports the whole system.
3 Homeopathic Remedies for Teen Acne
These are not one-size-fits-all solutions. But here are three remedies that I like to treat teens with skin concerns:
Hepar sulph – The “Don’t Touch Me” Skin
- Pussy pimples
- The pimples might have prickly paiin
- Skin (and mood) both feel raw and reactive
- Better with warmth, worse when exposed
Pulsatilla – The Softie with the Fluctuating Face
- Breakouts that shift with emotions or hormone cycles
- Craves reassurance, but may push it away
- Skin may be dry one day, oily the next
- Gentle and sensitive, both physically and emotionally
Sulphur – The Overheated, Overthinking Skin
- Red, inflamed, congested skin
- Restless, creative, resistant to structure
- Often worse with heat, overexertion, or late nights
- Skin reflects internal chaos and mental overdrive
Want Real Support for Your Teen?
Teen skin tells a story. Homeopathy helps us hear it—and heal it.
When I work with teens (and their mothers), we don’t just chase symptoms. We tune in to the whole ecosystem: the nervous system, the hormones, the relationships, the emotions. We listen for what’s really going on.
And we find a remedy that meets them where they are.
