Acne on face and back
Hi, I am 26 year-old and I have always had acne on my back since teenage, but not on face. From last 3 years since I moved cities, I have started having acne on my face as well. Now, there is a lot of redness accompanied by acne on my face as well.
My testosterone level is a bit on the higher side as per my tests (done 4 months ago) and this might be one cause.
Please suggest what should I do?

Acne can be treated with facewash, tablets and creams. If you are getting recurrent acne, we also need to find the underlying cause in patients of your age. Sometimes hormonal disturbances like pcod can manifest as acne. Have you done all the hormone tests. Treating pcod if present may resolve you acne issue. Also weight issue which we call metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance can manifest as acne. The marks and scars can be treated with a chemical peels and fractional carbon dioxide laser after the acne breakouts stop. Oilyness and pores also respond to peels and laser. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also very important. Please contact me with detailed history in private chat for proper consult or visit a dermatologist for the same.,
