Acne, treatment is based on severety grade.
Usually needs combination of drugs. Single drug treatment like only benzoyl provide will usually under treat Acne and might not respond. If progresses to pustular, nodular acne damaging the dermis of skin, leading to hyperpigmentation(black spots), scars(deep pits) in future.
Early treatment and proper combination of treatment according to severety is the key to treat Acne.
Next Steps
consult or chat with me online for proper grading of acne and prescription and follow up.
Health Tips
skin care for acne: Use gentle cleanser for washing face 2-3 times daily(as harsh cleansing can damage skin and increase infection of acne)
Apply moisturizer immediately after washing face, to retain moisture in skin as healthy skin needs it. (Moisture and oily skin is different)
After moisturizer, apply sunscreen during day time.
Use only NON-COMEDOGENIC sunscreen( as other sunscreen will block follicles and increase acne)
Early treatment will always prevent PIGMENTATION and scars.
wash/change your towel every 2 days.
change your pillow cover every 5 days.
Do not frequently touch your face with hands.
DO NOT SQUEEZE the lesions, as it damages dermis of skin, causing DEEP SCARS AND PIGMENTATION, which is difficult to treat.
