Hi Sharon,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM.
It appears that you are suffering from moderate to severe grade of
acne. This is common youth related problem and can be manifested any time before 25 years. The oil glands get enlarged and infected and so also the pores and leads to scarring.
There are various kinds of treatments you can take with consultation of a
dermatologist. You would be needing oral and topical treatments in form of antibiotics and
tretinoin, azealic acid and glycoloic acid. Other than that procedures such as chemical peelings, microderma-abrasion, dermarollers, and lastly lasers can also be used.
Though the correlation of food with acne is less supported but you should stop too much of spicy food and shift to simple diet. Stop oil application or any creams on face and
scalp.
With the proper and long term treatment you will regain your confidence and beauty again.
Hope this information will help you.
All the best.
Dr Sanjay K Kanodia
MD ( Dermatology)
