Suggest Treatment For Itching And Inflammation On Face
my face is red and ichy, but also seems like some pimples too. I am 44 years old and never had problems with acne when younger, so I am not sure what to do I have tried lots of different over the counter things, it seems to get better then it comes back

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching and inflammation on face which seems to be due to hormonal changes, and could be due to change in lifestyle as well.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply combination of clindamycin gel during day time and Adapalene gel at night time. You should take oral antibiotics such as doxycycline, azithromycin or minocycline to prevent further exaggeration. Drink plenty of water. Wash your face frequently several times during the day with plain water. Take diet rich in multivitamins. If symptoms keep on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined completely and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
