I've been getting acne constantly on my cheeks and jaw area, I've consulted a dermatologist after oral medication still pimples seem to appear, is there any other treatment rather than oral for acne and dark spots.Thx
Acne vulgaris is physiological, it depends on the harmonal variations & how you responds to it depends on your hereditary .Stress,lack of sleep , menstrual cycles in females...etc.
Acne lesions appears more common on cheeks, jaw, fore-head ,back & chest...where more number of sebaceous glands are present.
Depending on the grade of acne & type of skin..it will leads to post acne scarring +post inflammatory hyerpigmentation(black spots).
Next Steps
So you need to maintain the skin with good face wash like salicylic, topical antibiotics & keratolytics,systemic antibiotics..if grades are higher means you need to go for systemic retinoids..like isotretinointo control.
Health Tips
