Suggest Remedy For Acne On Face
i have acne since three years but earlier i had little acne on my two cheeks and since one and a half years, i have much acne on face which is quite disgusting.one of the dermatologists suggested me azifast 500 which did not work and now he has suggested me acutret for one month along with a soap and ointment i.e D-acne.so would these reduce my acne in one month?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, I would suggest "Tab Doxycycline 100 mg" once in day and "Erythromycin skin cream" this is just a initial regime else the acne needs long term treatment and regime of drug goes on changing from time to time, and for that clinical examination is must, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic acne on face which could be due to hormonal imbalances, bacterial infection, oily skin, stress, inflammation, sun exposure. D- Acne as suggested to you by your physician is right medication and can resolve your condition in one month. you have to take certain other preventive measures such as you should do cold compresses to reduce inflammation. You should avoid sun exposure. Avoid hard cosmetics over face and you can apply aloevera gel over face. You should wash your face with salicylic acid or glycolic acid containing face wash. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and start with chemical peeling as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
