Mild Acne And Red Pimples On Face And Back When Exposed To Sun. Oily Skin. Suggest

Hi, I m 19 years old Guy form Rajasthan. From last 5 years I'm suffering from mild acne and pimples. Sometimes they disappear totally for almost 10 days and then again comes back. In starting almost all pimples appear red in color and then after two or three days they become white (a white color fluid develops in them). Except face I have pimples on back also but not on chest. Face skin type is Oily. When ever I go outside in day time, I get lot of pimples in very next day. I'm not using any kind cosmetic product on face from almost 3 yrs.

Thank You.

hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
you are suffering from a very common teenage problem namely acne vulgaris.
Along with it ,you have developed Acne Corporis lesions..Sometimes acne lesions can occur only over the body..Acne affects mostly skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles; these areas include the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back
Before coming to the exact treatment, i would like you to follow certain precautions:
Avoid using any oily creams or lotions over face as much as possible. you can however use oil free moisturisers
Wash your face frequently inorder to keep it dry
Drink plenty of water
Try to avoid eating dry fruits
Avoid touching or squeezing of pimples
Avoid Hair oil
Always use a sunscreen (SPF> 26) when going out in the sun

Now as far as your condition is concerned, i would advise you might need to apply some antiacne medications like Clindamycin gel over the affected area in the morning along with benzoyl peroxide2.5% gel at night,,,
You might need a systemic agent also to control acne ,so if the above medicines dont help you much, then see a dermatologist for the same..

Hope it helps
Wishing you speedy recovery

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You should see a dermatologist - especially since it is extending to the back too / and you also have solar sensitivity...
Nowadays, there are several advances in its treatment - from imle solutions to tretinoin -
that there should be no problem, whatever...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
