Brief Answer:
Management of acne
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed your pictures and you are having moderate acne.
You need to take oral medication along with the topical.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use salicylic acid facewash twice daily and take capsule doxycycline 100 mg twice daily.
Along with this you can continue with deriva bpo gel on the pimples at night.
Use a ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly if you having dandruff.
Also keep your face dry, avoid oiling of scalp, use cosmetics labelled as noncomedogenic, don't pick your pimples and reduce the intake of sugary foods.
I hope this information helps you in dealing with acne.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
