Suggest Treatment For Severe Pimples And Scars On Face
Hi! I am a male, 23 years old living in Hyderabad, India.
I am experiencing pimple problems for more than five years. I have tried several methods to get rid off them and had partial success. I've changed my diet multiple times and I think I'm finally getting a grip on what suits my body. I've approached few skin specialists over these years and they didn't show much success while some of them failed miserably.
Pimples always leave marks on my face which is embarrassing for me. I work as a freelancer and hence I sleep in mornings and work during nights. I'd appreciate if someone can help me clear this problem.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have presence of pimples and scars on face which is mainly because of the fact that pores of your skin become clogged and because of clogging of debris and leads to formation of pus. Hyper-pigmentation of skin and excessive exposure to sunlight and hyperactive sebaceous glands which produce excessive sebum is another cause for this. I would suggest you to start with topical application of Saslic DS which is face wash you should use regularly and gel containing clindamycin in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night time. You should visit dermatologist once and get yourself examined. Drink plenty of water. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 30.You can go for home remedy as well. apply mashed potatoes on these pigments.Don't use any cosmetics containing much chemicals. Avoid use of topical steroids. Use azaleic acid cream based cream at night time as well. Recent methods are used for scar removal such as Chemical peeling, dermabrasion, Dermaroller. You can go ahead with these as well with proper prescription.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
