Acne And Marks. Allergy? What About Hair Near Chin?
hello Sir, I am 24 year old Pharmacist. Before one month my skin was clear and good.Because of allergy or something else. I don t know now i am getting acne and post acne marks on my face. I want to do some treatment in order to get my skin back. One more thing i had small hair near to chin . As i had removed it with thread i become harder now. I want to go for laser treatment for the same. Will you please guide me in this direction?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
If you have a single hair on your chin, in stead of going with laser, you may go with electrolysis. It is more cost effective and would yield good result.
As far as acne is concerned, firstly the grade and severity of acne has to be evaluated. Sometimes only application of topical creams like adapalene and clindamycin yield good results and sometimes oral drug like azithromycin or doxycycline or isotretinon needs to be added. As a general treatment option you may use salicylic acid face wash like saslic and apply treclin gel over acne lesions. If not much response is seen in two to three weeks, please contact a dermatologist for prescription of doxycycline/ azithromycin and/or isotretinoni.
Hope this helped.
Take care
