Question: i have done waxing on my face for facial hair before 4 months since then my face started with acne and then i used many antibiotic creams and used acnil soap also but no change everyday i come out with one more acne so pls kindly help out with this problem
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Treatment of acne would be oral medication, creams and daily skin care routine which further helps in acne.
1. Oral medication such as a course of antibiotic (doxycycline) for a month can help.
2. Various creams that are effective include
- Clindamycin gel twice a day only on the Pimples.
- Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel once a day on the Pimples.
- Retin A cream 0.025% on full face at night for 2 hrs.
One of the creams can be tried for 6 weeks along with oral medications under the guidance of your dermatologist.
3. In addition to the above, you need to follow a routine of cleansing and sunscreen daily.
- Cleanse your face with cetaphil cleansing lotion for acne prone skin thrice daily.
- Sunscreen needs to be used daily once every 4 hours; Neutrogena would be a good choice.
Hope these recommendations are helpful to you. Let me know if you have any doubts.
Regards
