Acne on face and marks on back

2018-12-01 08:30:47
Hi, I am suffering from regular acne. Had treatment done twice. Used some benzoyl peroxide meds and acne stopped and came back after I stopped medications. Acne are due to probably my wrong lifestyle and diet as well. Wanted to use meds again, not sure which one to use as there are a lot many benzoyl peroxide creams available with different percentage. My face acne meds had some cindamycin cream to be used in morning and benzoyl peroxide in night. My acne status is medium, not severe ,but not mild as well. Big and small acne keep coming every alternate day. Also, I have mild back acne as well, not severe, but marks are there.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. 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 and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
