# 3 Brat is suffering from severe acne problems. He’s had UV light treatments, that have helped a bit, but driving 15 miles for a 10 minute treatment every two days got a bit stressful for him, so he decided to quit that.
His doctor prescribed some pills that would work - only the side effects included such minor concerns as psychosis, depressions, suicidal tendencies, renal failure, liver failure… Eh… OK, so only a small percentage contract these, but who’d want to end up in those statistics… To be given these, he would have had to give the doctor a waiver in writing from his parents. Scary. Needless to say, he never had those pills!
At the moment, he’s trying natural acne treatments, as prescribed by a homeopath that he really likes. It takes time, he has to stay away from certain foods and take all sorts of vitamins, minerals as well as homeopathic medicine, but he looks much better, and feels better too. The sun and outdoor activity may have something to do with it as well, but at least she’s made him understand that getting some sun and fresh air on his skin will help, whereas hiding it under sweaters won’t…
Whether or not this treatment will remove the acne remains to be seen - he seems to be getting better, and is gaining confidence too, which is the main thing. Time is on his side regardless - adulthood will set in one day, and with it a more balanced hormone flow…
