Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on your face. There can be many factors responsible for this 1) hormonal changes
2) stress
3) oily skin and excessive exposure to sun.'
I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective . Femulin mini pill is good to use only for short term basis as it will give adverse effects on long term usage. Apply vitamin E before going to bed to fine texture of skin . Exfoliate your skin with non comedogenic exfoliant oncw a week to remove dead skin. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Doctor may prescribe retinoid ointment and antibiotic like clindamycin. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables also drink plenty of water ,
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
