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. Please call me and visit my clinic or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

Yes kojic acid rain can be used for the pigment but in the maps are still present and then we can try using a stronger cream. I practice in mumbai itself. You can meet me and get it properly assessed if you wish. A direct consultation would always be preferable to an online consultation.
