boils/cystic acne on forehead

I have been suffering from bouts of recurrent boils on my forehead for the last few years. I am 34. Just when I think they've gone for good because I haven't seen one in 8 months or so, I get a new one and then repeat ones, one after the other. I am a very healthy individual otherwise.

I had my first baby in April via unplanned c-section. I had staph in my scar that was healed by lancing and draining only. I also had gestational diabetes while pregnant. I am not overweight and I eat a whole grain, organic, vegetable-rich diet. I was treated for an allergy to sugar and yeast using the NAET program and have been seeing a naturopath regularly for the last 4 years. She is stumped by the problem with my skin. I don't know what these things are but they are not like regular acne. They are round raised red bumps that almost itch and when they drain, they are filled with blood and pus. BUT, rarely can I get them to drain easily. I use turmeric, apple cider vinegar, warm compresses and such. They are very stubborn. last a long time, and take a very long time to heal. I am fed up.

Recently I was one a few rounds of sulphur to heal or attempt to heal a rash on my arms that has been there since my baby was born. It is a bit like eczema and a bit like ringworm - but goes from mild to severe randomly.

I was also on two rounds of hep sulph to try to rid me of the boils. It didn't work.

Please help! I just feel cursed at this point and the boils are causing scarring. It affects me deeply emotionally. I can tell you that currently I have a very sensitive personality, a short temper that I am not happy about, and a lazy disposition that is also not my usual type of behavior.

I am really in need of some advice and help. I know there must be a solution!!!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Anything put on the skin to treat acne or boils does damange to the whole system. Please stop that immediately.

Please use the homeopathic patient intake form and give us the appropriate information about your case, and hopefully someone here will help you begin correct homeoapthic treatment.

I'd like to add that these boil/cystic acne things have a mild itchiness to them in general and create pressure on my forehead. I can sense their presence without touching them - very bothersome.

Please take three doses of Silicea 200 as follows and see how that affects in the next 15 days.

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

If there are no noticeable changes please take Ars Alb 200 in the same way and report back after another 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

I know it has been several years since this post, but I have a very similar situation (except that I am a man in his 30s so hormonally we differ). Can you tell me whether this remedy was effective for you?
