How to treat acne and dark spots in oily skin?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If possible provide me photographs of the affected areas which will help me for better understanding of your skin problem and proper treatment plan. Photographs are required for diagnosis purpose because the treatment given without proper diagnosis can be less helpful or can also harmful for you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is inflammatory acne with pigmentation. The reason behind pimples is mostly hormonal changes and oily skin. So these can subside with treatment but requires maintenance treatment even after the subsidence of pimples. Take a less glycemic diet and more protein diet. You can start Azelaic acid 20 % cream at morning for 20 days and Clindamycin 1 % gel at night for 20 days and daytime non-oily/greasy sunscreen (Suncros aquagel) and face-wash (Ahaglow). Take tablet Prednisolone 5 mg one tablet at night after food and 2.5 mg one tablet at morning after food for 20 days, tablet Azithromycin 500 mg one tablet at morning after food on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (three days in week) for four weeks. I hope this helps.

These creams are not irritant and both tablets are common medicines given in acne and also other skin problems. Generally, no such side effects noted or can be negligible and it depends on person to person and his genetics and immunity also. So, you can start treatment and follow- up after 20 days.
