There are different ways to achieve a flawless skin after acne and it needs medical interventions and commitment on part of the patient. Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequelae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. An attempt to find out the root cause of acne should be made in every patient or else it keeps recurring. Each phase takes a couple of weeks before we move to the next phase of treatment. If you have active acne lesions, it should be controlled on priority basis. The condition is called topical steroid damaged facies, have patience and follow up with your qualified dermatologist and things will improve.
Next Steps
Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.
