Recurring Acne, Taken Isotane, Azento, Benzac Ac 2.5%gel, Clinmiskin, Using Cetaphil Face Wash
I had bad acne 5 yrs back..I had a dose of isotane. I recovered and then had a mild acne breakout last yr..again low dose of isotane for 3 months. I was clear till february.I then threaded my face which caused me to break out along the sides of m,y face. I was prescribed azento for a month and application of benzac ac 2.5%gel and clinmiskin at night and morning. I wash my face with cetaphil . I am getting married in less than a month and I have 10 odd acnes on my face. It is scary .I am 25 yrs old

hello,
thanks for using healthcare magic.
i will be glad to be of assistance
i can understand your concern.
acne is seen in individuals from teenage years till the age of 25 years. so do not worry , i will recommend a good routine.
hope you have not been picking up on any of the lesions as that will lead to deep scars and pigmentation.
you need to follow a routine of cleansing, sunscreen , creams daily.
cleanse your face with cetaphil cleansing lotion for acne prone skin thrice daily.
sunscreen needs to be used daily , neutrogena would be a good choice
a course of tab. doxycycline 100 mg once a day for a month will take care of the remaining acne.
also taking saliclylic peels from your dermatologist once in 2 weeks will also help. in case you are short of time, you can use retinoic acid cream 0.025% and glycolic acid cream 6%on alternate nights on full face for 2 hours every night.
and in the morning , application of benzac ac and clinmiskin should be continued.
and using azelaic acid cream 10% for 2 hours every evening will also be beneficial.
please let me know your queries.
regards
