Acne reoccurring after treatment
I've been facing moderate acne for over 10 years. I have completed several 3 months courses of doxycycline and isotretinoin (20mg) along with benzoyl peroxide/ adapelene but the result is only temporary and acne comes back in few days after I stop the medicine.
Do I need to be on medicines for longer duration and is it safe to have doxycycline every other day for long term use as it gives good result..
Treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
