Management of acne

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photographs and you have developed acne vulgaris.
It is a chronic disease of pilosebaceous glands which is common in youngsters due to hormonal changes.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use a salicylic acid facewash twice daily and apply adapelene 0.1 gel on the individuals bumps at night.
Besides this I would recommend you to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime for 3-4 weeks.
This will help in resolving your condition.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see a doctor to get them.
Also keep your face dry, avoid applying oily creams and moisturisers, avoid oiling of scalp, use cosmetics labelled as noncomedogenic and reduce the intake of sugary foods.
I hope this information helps you.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
