I'm dealing with moderate acne and blackheads, and I've even tried allopathic treatments, but they've left me with permanent scars on my face. Im really wondering if homeopathy could be the answer to my problem. Could it help clear up my skin without leaving more scars?

Homeopathic Treatment Approach
