Hi i used to take tetralysal for my skin and it didnt help at all so i went on dianette pill to try and help it and that also didnt clear it fully and it also made me put on wieght so i stopped the dianette. Now i am taking nothing for my skin and i want to know if you think i should try tetralysal again? And how long do you think it takes to work?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per you query you have acne on face which is because of sebaceous gland under the hair follicle , when sebum get accumulated in clogged duct of sebaceous gland along with dead skin and bacteria they produce acne. I would suggest you to wash you face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your face. Apply clindamycin gel on these acne. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. Don't pick or touch acne. Drink plenty of fluids. Apply kojic acid cream on face. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes doctor may also prescribe antibiotics.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
