How can I cure acne scars with redness on cheeks?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am having pus, acne on my cheeks from a long time but I used to squeeze them off and they will not even leave a single scar, but from the past two months, I am having severe pus, acne, and even I do not touch or squeeze them. They leave a scar and the redness has increased a lot. I am using Clindamycin gel at night time but I cannot see the results. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to iclinq.com.

Your acne seems quite inflammatory that is they are very red and with pus formation. You will need oral antibiotics along with topical gel applications. Do not squeeze them, they can leave bigger scars.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
