Suggest Ways To Get Rid Of Acne With Dent Marks On Face
Hi, I am an 18 year old female and have been suffering from acne for over two years now. I get a lot of bad breakouts, especially around my chin and cheeks and have acne marks with dents on my face; mostly on my forehead and both sides of my cheeks. I am currently undertaking tetracycline tablets and aknemycin plus solution.. Would like advise on how to get rid of acne scars, dents and my acne overall.

Hi.
As per your case history of acne, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a clindamycin gel like Glocin twice daily on affected skin.
3. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics like doxycyline, minocycline and isotretinoin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
