Acupuncture as an acne treatment?

Has anyone used acupuncture as a treatment for acne and if so how effective did they find it? I am also interested in the same question in regards to excemaAcupuncture as an acne treatment?
i have had acupuncture for a trapped nerve in my back and it helped but i am not sure about a treatment for acne or excema


they are both different to back painAcupuncture as an acne treatment?
Absolutely useless for both conditions! The largest study comparing acupuncture with placebo needling recently failed to show it had any actual effect on anything, beyond that of placebo!
I wouldn't recommend it. I have tried similar stuff in the past and it made my acne worse! I don't have any problems with spots and acne now but I used to get them really bad. At one point I was seeing specialists and trying every remedy available regardless of the side effects. Nothing seemed to work. A couple of years ago i stumbled across advice from an on-line book - no messing it changed my life! Simple stuff but really effective. I recommend it to loads of people. You can find it at www.free webs.com/acnenomore. P.s. It costs a quid but its worth it. Hope this helps
