Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Acne in females needs a complete work up and there are many reasons why one gets acne.
It is multifactorial ,and therefore one has to find the exact cause of it.
It can be either due to wrong use of soaps or moisturizers to any fairness creams which one is using , to hormonal disturbances if anybody has (esp in females). So,a complete work up is necessary in all patients.Also one should remember that its not a short course treatment,but a matter of say 6 months or so if pimples are severe .
Antibiotic treatment like clindamycin will control the acne already present but is not likely to stop the recurrence.
For proper treatment hormonal therapy and retinoids need a combined approach.
But these medicines require proper follow up and dermatologist supervision.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
Regards,
Dr. Rakhi Tayal
