Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 19 years old, and I have had a long-term problem with acne since the age of 16, and the acne suddenly disappears in summer. I spent three months at sea, and my skin was almost completely clean. When I got home, my skin got bad again, and it was again getting worse with time. Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Regarding your symptoms, please use the following to protect and treat your skin from acne vulgaris. Apply Topical 2 % Resorcinol (Benzenediol), or 20 % Azelaic acid, or 5 % Dapsone. If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.
I hope this information will help you.
Thanks.
