Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have acne on my back, shoulder, and chest.

Answered by Dr. Shanza Ikram

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Acne is a disease in which the patient may experience frequent exacerbation due to stress or hormones or periods. Acne of the chest is difficult to treat. Take capsule Doxycycline 100 mg once daily for three weeks. Apply Clindamycin lotion two times a day.

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