How To Cure Severe Acne?
my face suddenly has horrible acne. for about the past 4 years. I am way past puberty and it is no where on my body except my face (jaw and lower cheek area). the 'pimples' are like little seeds when they come out- many do not come out and instead bleed -though i can still see the 'seed' in the hole I picked in my face. i have used many acne things- mynocycline, benzaclin, tetrinoin gel etc. help!

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have horrible acne since past 4 years which occur when duct of sebaceous gland get blocked and infected by bacteria. It could be due to hormonal changes, allergic reaction, dermatitis and dehydration as well. I would suggest you to exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin and bacteria. Wash skin with mild soap twice a day. Apply cream rich in kojic acid. Give diet rich in multivitamins and drink plenty of water. If condition persists even after this then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation of your condition . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , isotretinoin containing ointment or procedures like chemical peel or laser therapy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
