Hello doctor,
I have been dealing with an acne problem for approximately 10 years. Despite avoiding sweets and oily food and opting for vegetables and fruits, I have not seen any improvement. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern. Firstly consult a nearby dermatologist or send me the pictures to assess the grade and severity of acne. I suggest you the following steps:
1 If acne is mild, topical anti-acne creams like Clindamycin, Adapalene, etc, will help.
2 If acne is severe, oral medications such as Azithromycin or Doxycycline, with or without Isotretinoin, are prescribed alongside anti-acne creams.
3 Use a face wash for oily skin like Ahaglow or Cetaphil as a cleanser to wash your face.
4 If you are having blackheads or whiteheads get these removed.
5 Avoid squeezing pimples as it will leave a mark.
Follow the aforementioned measures for two weeks to observe the level of response you experience.
Thank you for consulting me.
You can always come back and reach me at icliniq.com.
