Suffering with acne from last 1.5years
I had acne in my school days but I got them treated and they were cured but after 5years again I started having acne. In the starting it was one and two here but later it got worse black spots. The acne I get are not bigger in size but small bumps and sometimes get acne with pus filled in them. It doesn't pain but lives a mark/scar back. I also got my blood report checked the amount of neutrophils is 78%. Also I have a family history of acne. Also I have been using tremendous products like Serums vitc, niacinamide but they make my skin sensitive. What can be the cause?

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 send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,
