Acne that is pimples need to be treated according to the severity of the condition. If it is severe, we need to start medication to prevent permanent scarring. We also need to check the hormonal status in females which may be the root cause of acne. Some dietary modifications also help. Please contact me via the online consult option.

A proper analysis has to be done and the cause has to be identified. We need to know the reason for starting the medicine and for how long have you been taking it . You can visit us at the clinic or do an online consultation with us for the same .
