Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I moved to a different place almost 2 years ago. Before I came here, my skin was clear. It was not perfect, but I did not have acne or anything like that. I was confident. But now I am experiencing acne, and I do not think it is due to the environment; I actually believe it is because of the people who surrounded me, specifically my family who brought me here. Since we have already separated from them, I did not have this problem before. However, I was stressed because of my family, and then this happened to me. What do you think I can do to treat the current acne that I have? It is the only thing I have been stressing about.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Pimples are hormonal and often related to oily skin. I suggest you follow a few guidelines, avoid using hair oil and any sticky creams on your face. Stay away from oily foods, chocolate, and dairy products. Avoid exposure to dust and make sure to use sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30. When applying any cream, avoid rubbing it on your face, and do not use any steroid creams. Continue the treatment for at least one month. Face wash or soaps are not considered a treatment and are not very useful. Do not touch acne and avoid squeezing it. For treatment, consider using Clindamycin gel as it is both preventive and curative. Apply it all over your face in the morning. Also, use Adapalene gel specifically on acne at night and take one tablet of Doxycycline 100 mg once a day.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
