Suggest Treatment For Pimples
I have a pink pimple , I occasionally get these types. They re the type that are pink and hurt to touch but normally take a lot for anything to come out, I think they are cystic but they are arent the type that are huge and ugly like what most people think of when they hear cystic pimples. I use a skin care product called Clarity, and I am using the acne spot treatment but it seams when I dont touch the pimple like these I am *still* left with a scar, the skin around or on the pimple will peel in a way, will turn into a scab like, help?

Hi,
As you said you suffer from acne vulgaris.You may be knowing that acne is a recurring skin disease and caused by multiple factors. Genetic influence may be also there.
Stress,anxiety,sun exposure,oily skin,oily food, dandruff,sleeplessness,drugs like steroids,pills,iodine..etc factors might exacerbate the disease.
You should continue treatment for long time even after control of disease.
Antibiotics like minocycline or azithromycine in proper doses and isotretinoin in low dose may be taken under observation of dermatologist. Local application of clindamycine with adapalene gel at night with cleansing the face by antiseptic face wash like cetaphil may be considered.
Avoid anxiety related to acne.Keep patience for the good result.I hope you got my answer.
