Suggest Treatment For Acne
Hi! I am 38 yrs old. Never had pimples in my youth but now suddenly have lots of acnes, pimples on my chin, forehead and cheeks.Skin feels very dry. Have lots of blackheads and white heads too. Doctors say its hormonal changes and have presribed Minoz 50, Keraglow Forte and Polaramine for 1 month. Are there any side effects on the usage of these medicines ? Will hormonal balance be attained? Will my problems reoccur on stopping these medicines? Is homeopathy a better option for long term resolution?

Hi,
You seem to have adult acne. It is a multifactorial disease. Stress,anxiety, sleeplessness,oily food,dandruff or hormonal imbalance or drugs like steroid may precipitate or exacerbate the disease. You continue minoz 50 daily in morning and add isotretinoin 10 mg at night. Both are least toxic in this dose, so you may continue for long time till good response. You may restart if acne recurs. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
