Pimple scars, blackheads, hair fall
My acne problem started about 6 months back after I made the mistake of using a steroid cream on my face to fasten the healing process of pimples, further resulting in multiple backheads all over my cheeks.
The problem further intensified when I ended up having two pimples which simply wouldn't go. They were pus filled for almost a month, and I also kept popping them.
The pus has now healed, however two prominent dark red marks remain, which haven't lightened even a little bit even after the use of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide.
Also, I've recently been suffering from intense hairfall, especially at the time of shampooing my hair. My hair seems extremely thin now, and simply falls even with the slightest touch.
Can I please get proper guidance as to how to deal with these issues. Also just out of curiosity, how long will it take for the scars to fade?
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. Hairfall along with acne may point towards hormonal imbalance called polycystic ovaries disease which needs to be tested. Please call me and visit my clinic or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,,
