Use of Alternative Therapy in Acne Vulgaris Patients

Overview

Acne Vulgaris is a chronic skin disease. However, chronic and repetitive due to the quality of life and psychological status of patients can affect. Today, although the treatment is repetitive, chronic and requires follow-up due to the disease patients can turn to alternative and complementary medicine techniques. In recent years, studies on alternative medicine and complementary therapies have been noted in the medical literature. These studies also include Case Reports related to acne vulgaris. However, in our country, there is no study that tells us whether patients with acne vulgaris apply these treatments or not and what the practitioners think about the success of the treatment. The aim of the study will be to clarify issues such as whether patients with Acne Vulgaris apply alternative medicine and complementary therapies for their disease.
