Facial acne

2017-08-08 11:29:14
I went to my regular doctors today and was prescribed lymecycline (408mg) capsules and differing cream for my facial acne. It wasn't explained to me how to use these exactly, the papers it came with aren't much help. Can I/am I supposed to use my regular face wash, toner, moisturiser, facial sun cream etc? Or will these react with the medication?

Actually the treatment instructions depends on your skin type and also the type of acne you have. If your skin is oily you should avoid all cream based products ( prefer gels). You can use your regular make up but make sure you clean it properly followed by face wash ( recommended as per your skin type).  You can use your regular face wash to remove dirt, sweat, etc and then use acne face wash.  For specific advice I need to see the type of acne you have, you can attach the pics showing affected area and send in case you need detailed advice.
