Hi, I am 28 Years old female. I have a lot of pimples and white heads on my face. How do I deal with them? It is so annoying that I still get pimples. Are there any on board medication either topical or oral to get rid of pimples and acne scars? Please suggest!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Acne is a disease of the hair follicles and affects almost all teenagers during puberty. Acne occurs when sebaceous glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated at the time of puberty or due to other hormonal changes. Sometimes, cyst forms and it get infected.
1.     Apply locally Clindoxyl gel (clindamycin + benzyl peroxide) at bed time for a month
2.     Doxycycline 50 mg daily per oral for 30 days. If you are pregnant then do not use doxycycline
3.     Use Acne aid soap three time daily for cleaning your face
4.     Do not squeeze pimples as it will cause scarring
5.     Keep pimples untouched
6.     Try to avoid use of unbranded cosmetics unnecessarily
7.     Avoid mental stress as it aggravates acne
After clearance of all pimples you can apply Melacare cream locally in face at bed time for 2 months. It will clear all dark spots. Apply is gently without rubbing. Rubbing will cause redness. Use Spectraban sensitive sunscreen before exposure to sunlight.
Thanks
