Hi doctor,
I an 28 years old and I have a skin problem on my face such as acne, blackheads, big pores, etc. It is usually not that bad but once my spot is gone, I have a red mark that could stay on my skin very long. As a result, all my skin looks a bit reddish due to spots marks. I would say my skin type is combination since it’s dry after I wash my face and then it gets oily, especially on my T zone. I am currently using La Roche Effaclar Duo to get rid of my acne and especially my spot marks but it does not seem to help a lot. That is why I was just wondering if you could recommend any skin routine that would help me to get rid of my acne and make my skin look better and healthier. Thank you very much.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Skin in adolescent and young adult are covered with sebum secreting glands mostly over face and trunk. They increase during the summer and varies according to menstrual cycle. Besides oily cosmetics can hamper the acne formation process and aggravte the problems. You can regularly cleanse the skin using facewash containing salicylic acid and or glycolic acid or mandelic acid. To improve the acne and facial skin we frequently use gel containing retinoic acids specially at night. But if you have bigger acne lesions sometimes we need to have some laboratory investigation to start oral retinoic acid. Could you please send me your picture so that I can discuss with you in detail.
