Can Liver Dysfunction Lead To Severe Acne Problems?
Good day doctor, am 26. i have had very bad acne for some years. i have tried most suggested medications to no avail. i have a liver problem which i know if not functioning well could cause hormonal imbalance and lead to the acne. i went to see a doctor and she prescribed livolin forte for the liver. will this medicine reduce the severity of the acne after a while or is there something more i can do. thank you

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe acne problems which seems to be due to hormonal imbalance as per your query . If doctor prescribed you to take this medicine at some particular time then you should strictly take medicine as per prescription otherwise it may have adverse effect . Beside that i would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing salicylic acid , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply raw honey on acne for 15 minutes daily and then wash , drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
