Suggest Medications For Pimples, Black Spots And Dry Skin On Face

Hi..I am 26 years old. Before 3 months I got pimples on my both cheeks suddenly. Then those pimples turned into black spots. When I consulted dermatologist he suggested me salicylic acid face wash, Acnolyf cream and glycovira 12% cream. I am using these for a month . But I got more pimples and my face became very dry. On my cheeks skin became very dry and much black spots developed. Can I continue the medicines or should I consultthe ddoctor again.?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . The symptoms you mention in query are clearly indicating ' sunburn ' also known as 'melnoma' .

The sun act as a trigger factor for melanocytes to produce melanin pigment that causes dark spots .

The severely burned skin appears dry and scaly.

I would suggest you to :-

- Give cold compresses to skin for 10 minutes twice a day .

- Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 which going ouside in sun exposure .

- Apply KOJIC ACID cream twice a day for one month .

- use face wash with benzoyl peroxide as a ingredients .

- Take over the counter anti allergic like benadryl.

If condition persist for more then a month . Then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation and rule out causes like skin infection or allergic reaction .

Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone or teritenoin cream. He/she may also prescribe antibiotics course or recommend procedure like dermabrassion for dark spots .


hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
