Suggest Creams For Recurring Blackheads
Hi. My friend suggested that I use Pernex AC 2.5% gel. I use the gel and there is something wrong (the blackheads keep on occurring). I want to know is there something, that can be used alongside the gel i.e a soap, another cream. And also how long do you think it will work for 11 year old girls.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Penrex AC is a good gel for inflammatory acne and not for blackheads.
You could apply a gel containing 0.1 % Adapelene ate bed time.
You could also get comedone extraction procedure done by a dermatologist.
Use a face wash containing 2 % salicylic acid to wash your face.
Avoid creamy cosmetics and soaps. Use gel based moisturizers.
Avoid oil application for prolonged duration on your scalp.
Eat a healthy diet and avoid fatty foods.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
