I am 34 years old. During my teen age I never had any acne but after 20 I had acne. I am married and having 2 year baby now. I am taking care of my diet and still I am having acne. I consulted a doctor in his clinic. Now he told me that I am having a gene for acne . I am not able to understand if acne gene is present , it should have started during 14-15 years. He prescribed me some medicine and bruoxyl and daple-c and some medicine. I am using these medicines from two days only and my skink looks like burnt type. what to do whether to continue to use or consult the doctor again. Asha
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne problem and you are taking medications for the same and not getting benefitted. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of this medication. I would suggest you to wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective. Apply vitamin E before going to bed to fine texture of skin. Avoid use of make up cosmetics. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Doctor may prescribe retinoid ointment and antibiotic like minocyclin. You can go for derma roller, microabrasion and laser therapy. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables also drink plenty of water. Exfoliate your skin with non comedogenic exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
