hii.... i m 29 yr old married woman... i hv always been a victim of acne breakout ever since my teen-age... fortunatly last few years were much healthier for my facial skin nd i did nt have to suffer much... but from last month onwards the same problem has caught me again... i have my face full of acne at the moment.. i visited a dermatologist few days back and he asked me to apply tretenoin 0.04% at night, bezoyl peroxide the next night and hexanoic acid on 3rd night and doxycyclin has been suggested as oral tablet... i followed the course for almost 15 days but discontinued it after noticing no progress... i visited the same doctor again today and he has asked to continue with the same treatment all over again... i am not seeing any satisfying results... kindly help.. i feel so embarresed watching my face in the mirror...
