Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic. You seems to have inflammatory acne. Active acne particularly if severe can lead on to scaring and pigmentation. Since you have an acne prone skin you may use a gel based sunscreen, however, it is better to avoid using a sunscreen altogether till your acne activity is under control. Cleansing is an important step in treatment of acne, however, it should not be over done. It is advisable to wash your face with a gentle cleanser e.g cetaphil cleansing lotion, twice daily. In my patients of inflammatory acne I normally put them on one of the Oral antibiotics if they have moderately to severe grade of acne. Various options that I choose from are either Doxycycline or Minocycline Or Azithromycin. Topically I ask my patients to use either benzoyl peroxide gel Or Clindamycin gel once or twice, for day time application. At Night, I usually ask my patients to use a topical retinoid e.g Adapalene gel. Oral retinoids are an option too if acne is severe and not responding as desired to the traditional antiacne medications. These are all prescription products and therefore you must follow up with your dermatologist. Your dermatologist would be able to assess the severity of your acne from time to time, and advice accordingly. Chemical Peeling can be combined with topical treatment. Peels are effective for both acne as well as post acne pigmentation. Peeling sessions are usually done in the doctors office every 2-3 weeks. Regards
