Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. I have examined your picture (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity) and it seems you have developed acne vulgaris. It is a common skin problem in adolescents and in adulthood, it involves pilosebaceous follicles or oil glands and is therefore seen to involve areas where oil glands are dense like the face, chest, back, and upper arms which are common sites of involvement. It looks like grade 1 to grade 2 acne in your case. For treatment, I would suggest you follow the following steps:

1 Start using gel Clindamycin 1%, Nicotinamide during daytime over pimples, and Microbenz gel (benzoyl peroxide) at night over the whole face for around two to three months.

2 Take capsule Doxycyclin 100 mg once daily for six weeks after consulting the general physician or nearby dermatologist.

3. For cleaning your face you can use a face wash twice daily.

4. Follow certain dietary restrictions like not taking oily, spicy food, junk food, milk products, and non-vegetarian foods.

5. Have lots of water that will hydrate your skin.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Regards.
