What are the best ways to control acne?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Nothing seems to work for my acne. I have used Clindamycin and Surfaz but it did not work for long. How can you help?
Hi,
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
I have gone through your case. You need to understand acne is an ongoing process and you may experience frequent exacerbation due to stress or hormones. Clindamycin is fine. In the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity), you are having closed comedones and open comedones and hyperpigmentation. Apply any sunblock regularly in serum form like those available in body shop products. Do not use any creams or lotion as it can aggravate your acne. Apply Adapalene gel only at night in very little amounts (about the size of a pea) for two hours. If you take excessive you may have burned.
Thank you for consulting me.
You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
