Comodones turning into inflamed acne.
I am a 26-year-old female with acne since the first week of February. It mainly affects my chin, jawline, and lower cheeks. I have been using Vitamin C since March, Azicalm (azelaic acid) since April, Plum Niacinamide Toner for 1 month, and topical clindamycin for the last few weeks (after a dermatologist recommended) with Aquasoft FC moisturizer but i stopped using this moisturizer since i noticed lots of comodones coming. My painful cystic acne has reduced, but I continue to develop multiple closed comedones that gradually become painful blind pimples or pustules. The right cheek near my ear keeps breaking out repeatedly, leaving a dark brown mark. My periods are almost regular, but acne flares about a week before menstruation. I recently had a flare after sweating and wearing a mask while cleaning. I am lacking financially. Kindly advise if my treatment needs modification, especially for the persistent comedones that keep turning into inflamed acne. Thank you.

These are hormonal acnes and adding actives like vitamin C will irritate your skin more. You need to get a few blood tests done for the same.

Please do not worry. Effective treatment options are available; however, management depends on the severity and extent of the condition. A detailed medical history is essential for appropriate evaluation and treatment planning.
Kindly schedule an online consultation with a dermatologist for a comprehensive assessment, prescription, and further guidance.”

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
• Based on the information provided, it is difficult to suggest the most appropriate treatment without a proper assessment, as several skin conditions can appear similar.
• Kindly share clear photographs of the affected area in good lighting along with details such as duration of the problem, symptoms, and any treatments used previously.
• I would advise against starting any OTC creams or self-medication, as some products may worsen the condition or delay proper treatment.
• An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective and long-lasting results.
You may book a consultation for a detailed evaluation and a personalized treatment plan. I would be happy to guide you further.
