What Causes Chronic Acne On The Face?

I am Zita 26 years old unmarried lady. I am suffering from severe pimple problems from past 4-5 years. In teenage i had no single pimple issues whereas it started lately. The pimples are not like normal. Its spreads on my complete face as Red Rashes, completely skin becomes red, gets septic and without consulting doctor it will not cure. It cures when i meet doctor and consume the medicine and six months later again the same problem. I feel my body is completely over heat, When i eat Chicken, potetoes, channa, fishes, such foods that cause body heat i Get Pimples. Due to this, i diet a lot and Avoid such foods. Also, i Get heat boils on my Lips once in 1 six month or year atleast. Other problems i have is Heavy Hair fall(dandrup) and Irregular menses(once n 3 month), I also have warts on my Leg fingers. Because of this Skin desease i disturbed a lot. Recently, before a month same pimples started, this time i consulted an ayurvedic doctor, he gave Kashayam to cure the pitta and reduce the body heat and suggested to diet. Kashayams are: SARIBADYASAVAM , gULOOCHYADI KASHAYAM, SUKUMARAM KASHAYAM, DRAKSHADI KASHAYAM. But i do not feel much difference with this, not cured the pimples still, so i decided to meet the same doctor again. I sit a lot infront of laptops, systems, Got a small own online business, so currently Working from home, i have to look after my family, business, etc due to which little stressed even. I am in a depression. My skin is completely spoiled. I need a clear skin ASAP. Please help me.

Hi,

As per your complain the symptoms of pimples, hairfall, irregular mensus are all pointing towards hormonal imbalances and can also be leading to Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and the symptoms of heat boils or rashes on face on eating certain foods seems to be most probably due to allergic reaction to certain foods like chicken, potatoes.

I would suggest you to consult a Gynecologist first and get evaluated and hormonal profile and pelvic ultrasound can be advised to you for ruling out he exact cause if the problem and hormone replacement therapy can be given for resolution of symptoms and also topical anti acne treatment like application of Clindamycin and Benzoyl peroxide gels and also retinoids like Adapelene can be given.

For hairfall multivitamin supplements, topical application of Minoxidil lotion and warm coconut oil massage can help. For rashes consult an Allergist and get Allergic tests like food challenge test, RAST test etc done to rule out the cause and treatment can be done accordingly.

Eliminating allergic foods from diet, taking anti allergics like Levocetrizine or Allegra, doing cool compresses over the rashes and also Immunotherapy can be instilled to reduce the severity of allergy symptoms.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora
