How Should Facial Area Acne With Lumping Be Treated?

Hello, I started having acne on my face recently and it happened so fast. I used to apply benzaclin and berozol peroxide but it didn't help. I got like pimples under my nose area, but above my lips and its all together. It feels like a huge bump. I have so small round pimples on my forehead and cheek area but you can't really see the acne from far away. if you come close, there's pimples all over my face.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have facial area acne with lumping which is mainly because of hormonal changes, stress, clogged pores of skin and increased sensitivity of your skin. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. You should apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Apply Clindamycin gel and Benzoyl peroxide containing gel over the acne. Avoid any steroid based cream and apply kojic acid containing cream over face twice. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. You can go for laser therapy as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
