Hello I have a question about acne... I am a 23 year old female have been suffering with acne for 8 years. I been to various dermatologist and been prescribed ATB and currently I am using ProActive. It seems to be helping, but I want permanent relief. Is there anything else that you suggest that may work better. I have very oily skin.

Hi,

I can understand your concern for acne vulgaris. It is a multifactorial skin disease with genetic influence. Stress,oily food,dandruff ,excessive sun exposure,drugs like steroids,pills...etc might precipitate or exacerbate the disease.you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.

Antibiotics like minocycline and isotrtinoin in proper doses may be considered. Clindamycine gel may be applied on the lesions daily at night. Cleanse the face with antiseptic face wash like cetaphil lotion.
Have patience...

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
