Acne and Sensitive skin issue
I've been having acne issue since past few years and my skin is little rough and oily. Also, the skin is very sensitive as it reddens on application of strong physical pressure such as during waxing, or in sunlight. The acne keeps on fluctuating as it calms down in cool temperature but aggravates in a heated place, or with dust and pollution during travelling. I had sometimes used some OTC ac e treatment products but they were not helpful. Ehat should be done further.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

Acne is a common problem in this age group. It may have a prolonged course with various side effects if not treated properly and early.
My suggestion to you is to -
