Acne and comedones on face
Hello,
sir/mam i am suffering from comedones and after some time they converted into nodular acne and having dark spots and dark complexion compare to other parts of body please suggest a complete skin care routine.
Acne, especially pustular and nodular acne, needs regular skin care routine along with proper antibiotics, exfoliants.
Use gentle cleanser for washing face 2-3 times daily(as harsh cleansing can damage skin and increase infection of acne)
Apply moisturizer immediately after washing face, to retain moisture in skin as healthy skin needs it. (Moisture and oily skin is different)
After moisturizer, apply sunscreen during day time.
Use only NON-COMEDOGENIC sunscreen( as other sunscreen will block follicles and increase acne)
Early treatment will always prevent PIGMENTATION and scars.
Next Steps
for proper prescription of medicines, consult me online/ any dermatologist to treat acne, and also your scars and pigmentation.
Health Tips
wash/change your towel every 2 days.
change your pillow cover every 5 days.
Do not frequently touch your face with hands.
DO NOT SQUEEZE the lesions, as it damages dermis of skin, causing DEEP SCARS AND PIGMENTATION, which is difficult to treat.
