Suggest Treatment For Recurring Skin Breakout

I used to have really bad break and I have been using retin a and ginet birth control to try and stop it I have been using it for over a year now but I ve still had some break out(4 or 5 at a time) I thought it was my hormones but birth control should sort that out. And I also thought it could be my stress so I have been taking B complex tablets. I have tried everything and I am still not 100% confident with my skin.

Hi,

As per your complaint skin breakouts can occur due to causes a number of other causes than hormonal imbalance like Clogged pores, Oily skin, Bacterial infection, Inflammation, Excess sun exposure etc.

So if hormone replacement is not providing appropriate results then it can be due to some other reasons..

You should consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide..
Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples..
Do cool compresses over face..
Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin..
You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised
You can also go for treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
Dentist
