Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had acne. It has gone now, but it left some marks. What should I do to clear it? And what should I use on the active acne?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen the image you have uploaded (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Currently, you have quite a few active acne lesions, along with some spots from the previous acne. So I will suggest you take an oral antibiotic course for a month to reduce the breakout at present and use a cream that will help with the spots. Apart from this, you should also follow a few instructions to avoid dark spots after the pimples heal. I hope this helps.
