Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have acne started two months ago, and I never had this issue before. It is getting worse. Please help.

Answered by Dr. Sushil Kakkar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, you have acne bumps on your lower face, i.e. chin and jawline. I suggest you use either Nadifloxacin 1 % gel or Benzoyl peroxide 2.5 % gel, twice daily for a few days.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

What is the cause of my acne? I never had acne at all in my entire life.

Answered by Dr. Sushil Kakkar

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Transient hormonal imbalance during a menstrual cycle, stress, diet, hot and humid weather, and sunscreens and moisturizers can sometimes be implicated in causing acne. Do you use a sunscreen or moisturizer on the face?

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