Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for query . Acne occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected . I would suggest you to use face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is natural extract and safe for use . Exfoliate your skin once in a week to remove the dead skin . If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis and to rule out any underlying condition . Doctor may prescribe isoteritenoin , steroid ointment or antibiotics course ( minocyclin ) .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
