How to treat stubborn acne not responding to birth control pills?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Pimple is somewhat hormonal and due to oily skin.

1. Avoid using hair oil and any sticky cream on your face.

2. Avoid oily food, chocolate, and milk products.

3. Avoid dust and use sunscreen (above 30 SPF).

4. Do not rub any cream on the face.

5. Do not use any steroid creams.

6. Continue treatment at least for a month.

7. Facewash or soap is not a treatment and is not much useful.

8. Do not touch acne and avoid popping it.

For treatment, I suggest the following.

1. Clindamycin - This is more preventive and curative so I tell patients to use it all over face in the morning.

2. Adapalene gel - I advise using it over acne at night.

3. Tablet Doxycycline 100 mg once a day.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
