I am 27 years old. I have a history of acne and pimples marks since I was 18 years old. They are still prevalent. I wanted to get them treated and also I have been suffering from this problem of my back, chest and scalp for past 5-6 years now.
but the problem is that I keep getting a pimple one after the another. So at any point of time, I will have a acne or 2 on my face and back . I consulted Dr. he prescribed me cetaphil cleansing lotion twice a day, azee 500 thrice a week, Nadoxin a gel at night, glyco 6 cream and tretin cream for applying on face. but i am not getting relief after 10 days. I want to get relief from this as soon as possible

Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. 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 left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice. Cetaphil cleansing lotion is not for acne prone skin. Other tablets and creams are available.
