Sulphur in the Management of Acne Vulgaris: A Homoeopathic Review

Abstract

Acne is a chronic skin disease that is characterized by noninflamed comedones or inflamed
lesions. Sulfur is a naturally occurring element that has been used for centuries to treat a range of
skin conditions including fungal infections, scabies, psoriasis, eczema and acne. As a gentle agent,
sulfur for acne is most effective against noninflamed comedones and mild inflamed pimples; when
combined with conventional acne medications it can also be effective against mild-to-moderate
inflammatory acne symptoms.
