Suggest Treatment For Cystic Acne

Posted on Mon, 12 Oct 2015

Question: I've been having issues with hormonal and cystic acne for about a year. I'm 20 years old and haven't had issues with this since I was at least 17. I'm also taking Loryna in conjunction with spironolactone and its still not helping at all. I'm at my breaking point and I don't know what to do.

I have taken asorbica when I was about 17 but my dermatologist told me it's usually last resort and it doesn't help with adult female acne, however, with research I've read it's very effective on such acne.

Brief Answer:
Start asorbica

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
You can start back with asorbica.
It is effective in all type of acne.
Please don't get depressed.
I can understand the social impact of acne but with the present day technology of lasers and all it can be controlled and even scars or spots can be removed.
Don't take stress as it aggravates Açne.
Take diet rich in fibres and cut down oil.
Adequate sleep is also must.
Wash your face three to four times a day with a drying face wash.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
