Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
For acne-
continue using dermadew acne soap.
Apply adapalene benzoyl peroxide gel in night
Take an oral antiacne medicine like doxycycline or isotretinoin after consulting your doctor. Sometimes acne doesnt respond to topical therapy alone and hence oral medicine is required.

for dandruff, use ketoconazole based shampoo every alternate days. Apply steroid antifungal lotion like candid b daily.

Hope this would help.
