Suggest Remedy For Pimples Appearing On The Forehead & Chin
I have recently shifted to bangalore in Feb'10. Since then, I have started developing a lot of pimples over my forehead and chin. These are mostly red in color and are painful when touched. No amount of applying multani mitti or besan has helped. I regularly rinse my face with water and also drink a lot of water throughout the day. Not really sure, why this has happened. Now, it feels very awkward to venture out of the house. Please help

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimples appearing on the forehead & chin which occur due to clogging of skin pores with sebum, dead bacteria's and dust. I would suggest you to wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelac acid which is good for acne. You should apply Melalite XL cream which is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
