Acne vulgaris is a common inflammatory skin disorder involving comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and scars, affecting over 80% of teenagers and persisting into adulthood in some cases. While not life-threatening, it often causes scarring and significant psychological distress. This case study highlights the effectiveness of Constitutional Homoeopathic remedy in treating Acne vulgaris and enhancing the Quality of Life of the patient. A 25-year-old female with a 10-year history of facial acne presented with blackish nodular eruptions. Detailed case-taking identified characteristic physical and mental symptoms. The totality of symptoms was made and repertorisation was done with Zomoeo pro software. Global Acne Grading System score and Dermatology Life Quality Index score were recorded at baseline and monthly follow-ups, with series of photographic documentation. The MONARCH criteria assessed the causal relationship between constitutional remedy and the clinical improvement. Based on repertorial result and referring various Materia medica, Natrum muriaticum 1M was prescribed followed by sacrum lactum for one month. The same prescription repeated for next three months. The Global Acne Grading System score improved from 16 to 0 and the Dermatology Life Quality Index score from 13 to 0 with complete resolution of eruptions over the cheeks and no recurrence seen during treatment. The MONARCH score increased from 4 to 11. The photographic evidence was well-documented. This case demonstrates that carefully selected constitutional remedy can effectively restore both the physical manifestations and the psychological burden associated with chronic dermatological conditions. While a single case cannot establish definitive proof of efficacy, the favourable clinical outcome substantiated by sequential photographic documentation provides supporting evidence to Constitutional homoeopathic treatment as a valuable therapeutic approach for acne vulgaris.
