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.
