Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 19-year-old. I have never had acne problems. Recently I can see acne around one side of my mouth. It has been going on for a few months. I have tried every face wash, creams, toners, etc. I have an extremely irregular period. I am not on any medications. Does it have anything to do with my periods?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, it can be related to your irregular cycles also. For that, you should consult a gynecologist. I am writing you the medications for this for now.

  1. Capsule Doxycycline 100 mg once a day.
  2. Adapalene and Clindamycin gel apply once at night on acne, do not rub it and wash after one hour.

Do this for 15 days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
