Closed comedones
I have combination skin which gets dry in winters and oily in summer and can be sensitive at time . I am suffering from only closed comedones from last 2-3 years now. The closed comedones aren't painful or anything. I have tried using 2% salicylic acid serum and 5% niacinamide serum but nothing seems to work or treat them. I would love some suggestions on how to treat them

Comedones, 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.

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed
