Suggest Treatment For Whiteheads And Blackheads On The Face
Hello, sir. I am a boy of 18 years. I used to have lots of whiteheads and blackheads on face. Then I started using Tretion 0.05%. I have been using it for 4 months. Almost every blacksheads and whiteheads are removed from my face now. But still very few whiteheads appears every month. And I used to pick my scars so there is a lot of dark spots left on face. What should I do to get rid of the future whiteheads and spots left over on my skin? Help me, please.

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, if spots are left may need to be reviewed by a dermatologist to look for any signs of melasmas. Combination of hydroquinone and tretinoin may be needed.
Option of UV therapy may be discussed with the dermatologist too. Using vitamin C and E and Zinc supplementation may be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
