Facing acne since 10 years
I have been having acne since last 10 years and have done several courses of antibiotics and isltretinoin but my acne always comes back whenever I stop the treatment. I looking for a safer treatment this time if possible which would require lesser medicines so that I may use it for longer period of time. Can I use adapelene gel or benzoyl peroxide daily for years?

Don't worry.. good improvement possible with specific medicine..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 more photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
