Suffering from acne
I have been suffering from acne for almost 1 year and 8 months. I will turn 21 this year. I have an oily skin type but the pimples started appearing after my nose piercing was spoiled. I am having breakouts on my cheeks mainly and on my forhead and chin. This has lead to low self esteem and self confidence. My skin was clear during my entire teenage but at the end of my teens my skin started breaking out.
Acne can be treated with facewash, tablets and creams. If you are getting recurrent acne, we also need to find the underlying cause in patients of your age. Sometimes hormonal disturbances like pcod can manifest as acne. Also weight issue which we call metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance can manifest as acne. Please send photos with detailed history proper consult or visit a dermatologist for the same.
