Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have a couple of brown spots on my face. I also have some scars on my face. Kindly help me to get rid of them. I use to have a clear face and I got acne a couple of months back. I do not have any pimples on my face and I think that I have milia on my left and right cheeks. I have three bumps and it hurts me a lot. My skin has become oily. Kindly suggest some remedy.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the attached image (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I can see dark spots and scars on your face. It occurs as a result of acne. For oily skin, you need to use a regular face wash twice daily with a mild cleanser. In between the daytime, you can wash your face with simple cold water. Apply sunscreen having a sun protection factor of more than 30 in the morning. Scars can be managed by doing subcision and chemical peeling, lasers, and dermabrasion. Milia too requires excision.

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