Hi,
Your daughter suffers from acne. I can understand your anxiety related to your daughters problem. You may be knowing that acne is a recurring disease. And there may be many factors responsible for it.So, have treatment for long time with patience. It may be precipitated or exacerbated by factors like stress,anxiety,oily food,hormonal disturbance,drugs like steroids,dandruff..etc.There may be genetic influence. She has to reduce anxiety related to acne. Have positive attitude. Few episodes of acne lesions may be there even during treatment. She may continue treatment for few months. I would like to suggest following line of treatment...
- antibiotics like minocycline or azithromycine in proper dose
- isotretinoin in low dose
- clindamycine or benzoyl peroxide gel
- cleansing the face with antiseptic facewash
Have patience for the good result.
Thanks.
