Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been very prone to acne and I have pimples and pimple marks almost everywhere on my face for three years, even though I use Master anti-pimple facial wash and Master anti-pimple cleanser every night, it does not seem to be the solution. I am about to use Skinlight body care rejuvenating set and I also have a Skinmate shark oil. Is it fine to use the set with the shark oil? Can you please suggest a solution? Is it necessary for me to use pore minimizer? Are my pimples might be caused by strong products? Do I have to buy stronger products to get rid of my pimples and pimple marks?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Pimples present on whiteheads, blackheads, abscesses over the face. This is the spectrum of acne vulgaris which is common at a young age. In your case, as you have reported there are active lesions as well as active acne. This occurs due to androgen production during the young age, which leads to sebaceous gland overactivity and their blockage and inflammation. It can be cured by drugs as well as general prevention. General prevention includes avoiding oily things over the face and over the scalp. Avoid steroid creams over the face. Diet has no much role in acne vulgaris. Some cosmetics also increase acne. Drug treatment includes capsule Isotretinoin 20 mg OD with meals at night for four weeks. Clindamycin gel twice daily for four weeks. Salicylic acid 2% face wash use for 30 seconds daily if there is a lot of dryness due to this treatment use salicylic acid face wash only alternate day. Take plenty of fluids. Do not touch the face too often. This treatment sometimes has to be continued for three to four months as per response. When active acne stops coming, acne star are treated according to their type by microsurgery methods. Please review after four weeks with photo. I do not advise taking any other extra tonics, oils, or any food supplements as they can increase acne. I hope this helps
