Pimples, Marks On Face, Taken Treatment, No Relief. What To Do?

Hello Sir, I have a query. I am 26, still getting pimples on my face and back regularly. I have taken treatment 2 times before and recently shown to other Dermatologist . He suggested me to take Doxylab tab, Beplex Forte tab and to apply Deriva MS Gel. Also I have marks on my face. Last month suddenly I got many pimples on my face. Please let me know, it this problem curable and how long it will take to get all marks cleared. Thanks, Neha

Dear Neha, 26 is the noveau 16! smile :) I note your age & your tratment history. However, it needs more htan this to formulate an effective acne treatment regime. This is usually tailored to suit individual needs..so please consult a dermatologist near your place or you may consult me privately if you so wish to through this portal. Firstly, one needs to evaluate your goal..if my understanding is correct, you desire clearance of both acne & the marks left behind. Second, you need to do a battery of tests assuming we will start you on systemic isotretinoin therapy as a 'definitve' treatment if one can call it this. Please check the details of the medication & the side-effects & precautions et al (as the blood tests required are tailored with these in mind) with your treating doctor. It may take anywhere from 3-6 months for a decent result & your treating doctor again will be best placed to discuss this with you. Cheers & all the best...am sure you will do well with this treatment. Regds. Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Cosmetologist & Venreologist, Bangalore, India

You can start using Aziderm20% cream by night which is a treatment for pimples and for pigmentation.Pimples are curable.Get treatment done for atleast 4-6months for good results.Also you can get salicylic peels done by a dermatologist for pimples and marks.
