Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have acne and marks on my face. I have been using a cleanser and a salicylic acid serum for a long time but without any results.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not worry, medicines alone will not work permanently.

  1. Wake up early and go for a morning walk regularly till good sweating occurs.
  2. Take plenty of water daily.
  3. Avoid oily spicy, non-veg foods for a few months.
  4. Take more salads and fruits.
  5. Take neem leaf juice daily in the morning on empty stomach for a few months.
  6. Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them, and take medications after their consent.

    1. Take two tablets of Purim (turmeric and neem) three times daily for 15 days.
    2. Take a capsule of Doxt-SL (Doxycycline and Lactobacillus) twice daily on the first day and once daily from the second day onwards for 15 days.
    3. Use a herbal face wash regularly.
    4. Use aloe vera gel.
    5. Follow up after 15 days.

      I hope this helps.

      Thank you.
