Hi doctor,
I am a 17 year old male. I have been suffering from pimples, acne, and scar since two years. I have many black spots on my face. Please help me. What can I do now?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Acne in this age is a result of overactivity of your oil glands due to hormonal changes. Additionally, manipulating with fingers, application of non-tested home remedies and dandruff can cause bigger acne with infection. You could apply Clindamycin gel twice a day to acne. A face wash like D-acne would also help if used one to two times a day. You may also require oral medications depending on the severity of acne. Scars occur due to the manual picking of acne and pus-filled acne that is not treated on time. These scars are not effectively treated with creams alone. You could undergo microneedling, chemical peels, or lasers from your dermatologist. Timely control of acne can prevent permanent acne scars.
