Kids These Days: Urine as a Home Remedy for Acne Vulgaris?

Christine R Totri1, Catalina Matiz1, Andrew C Krakowski1.   

Abstract

Complementary and alternative medicine therapies are gaining popularity among patients, aided by modern media outlets that facilitate easy and rapid dissemination of information. "Urine therapy" is one such complementary and alternative medicine and is described by its proponents as a wonder therapy for inflammatory conditions, such as acne vulgaris. As with other complementary and alternative medicines, healthcare providers should be mindful of the use of urine therapy and its potential implications for patients who may utilize it.
