Suggest Treatment For Severe Acne

Hi, I was wondering how best to treat acne. I am 37 years old but unfortunately I still get acne around my mouth and I have a small red hard lump just between my nose and eye. I invested in a full coverage make-up and use a make-up brush. Would prefer to find a make-up that you don t need a brush in case it spreads the acne. Anyway do you think I need medication. It seemed to come back when I was very stressed two months ago and I know that certain foods don t help either. Stacey Stacey

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pimples can occur due to causes like Oily skin,Clogged pores,Hormonal Imbalances,Bacterial infection, inflammation etc.
In case if you have acne, only makeup is not the resolution and you need to take a proper treatment for resolution of the acne..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide..
Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time..
Do cool compresses over face..
Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin..
You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Oral Medication like antibiotics like Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised
Avoid oily food..
Take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet..
Limit sun exposure and always apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can also go for treatment like Microdermabrasion, dermal rollers, lazer treatment and chemical peeling..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
