You can.. however treatment depends on the grade..Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Need to see what kind of bumps they are, are they comedones(black heads or white heads) or acne proper. you can always continue retino A, but since its winters shorten the application time. If you are getting bumps continuously it is better to take isotretinoin orally, it does wonders. for marks you can use kojic acid cream to start with.......

U can continue retino-A with proper moisturiser and sunscreen as it can cause irritation with changing climate. For complete prescription send the photos and book your online consultation
