Acne prone face
Consulted a dermatologist after a month of struggling with stubborn acne, was advised to go on a 3 week diagnosis involving a basic acnegenic facewash, a benzoyl peroxide gel, epitheliale cream, a depigmentation cream and a sun screen. Since the time the said cosmetics were used my skin has developed more acne and lumpy uneven skin is what I've ended with, and the acne pops every other day.

Skin care needs to be customized based on the presenting complaints. 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. Acne scar and pores can be treated with subcisions, dermaroller, fractional CO2 lasers, chemical peels and likewise. Remember combining treatment modalities help to achieve desired results earlier. Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.
