im 23 years old,male. i m suffering from moderate to severe acne only on face. it starts with a white head, grows into a red pimple with pus. i have been to a dermatologist and took a course of isotretinoin for 4 months. it was gud for 2 or 3 months but the problem reverted back more severely. what should i do to get rid of my acne....
You suffer from acne. I can understand your concern for acne. You may be knowing that acne is a recurring disease. So, have treatment for long time with patience. It may be precipitated or exacerbated by many factors. There may be genetic influence. You have to reduce anxiety related to acne. Have positive attitude. Few episodes of acne lesions may be there even during treatment. You may continue treatment for few months. I would like to suggest following line of treatment...
- antibiotics like minocycline or azithromycine in proper dose - isotretinoin in low dose - clindamycine or benzoyl peroxide gel - cleansing the face with antiseptic facewash
Have patience for the good result.
Thanks.
