Suggest Treatment For Acne Breakouts And Scars
Hi, I m a female and 14 and have been having acne for 2 years now and I hate it and I ve tried Proactiv+ and X-Out but none of them work, my skin always feels dry and it s the first benzoyle peroxide products I ve used but it only had 2.5 of it in the product and it still made my skin feel like it was burning. I always have to put some type of lotion on after I wash my face cause it just feels so dry. I ve tried nutrogena that has salicylic acid and it hasn t burned my skin or dried it as much as the other products have and has helped with the scars but not the acne I have breakouts all the time and I m tired of it. Please help me, thank you.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne breakouts and scars which occurs when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You are already taking so much medicine but not get benefited. You should exfoliate your face once a week and apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream. Wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salycylic acid twice a day You should drink 4-5 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and laser therapy and micro-peeling as well. Apply isotrintoin on face at night time on daily basis.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
