Suggest Remedy For Acne On Face
I am a fourteen year old female, last checked not to long ago I was about 5 and am overweight at around 150 lbs. I must ask about my skin... I have genetically bad skin and have had, do have, and probably will always have bad acne. I have tried a lot of skin care products but none have seemed to work... I wash my face once sometimes twice a day and still can;t get rid of it. Same with acne scars. PLEASE HELP!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query acne occurs when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. I would suggest you to apply clearasil face wash twice a day as it contain salicylic acid which is very good for preventing acne. Avoid touching and pricking it with sharp objects. Exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin from your face. Apply betnovate on acne twice a day for 2-3 days. After washing face apply cream containing azelaic acid . If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isoteritenoin for twice a day for few weeks .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
