What is the treatment for moderate to severe acne?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 29-year-old female. I am not pregnant or breastfeeding. I take Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. I have moderate to severe acne with combination skin. I have large pores by my nose and painful oily or cystic acne on my cheeks, and I am starting to get fine lines on my forehead. It feels like I have tried everything. Is there anything else I could be doing to treat my acne and help my skin look better?
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
-
Relax and make yourself stress-free, as stress is a big contributing factor to acne.
-
Adopt a good skincare routine.
-
Wash your face with Dermadew acne face wash (Salicylic acid) twice daily for two weeks.
-
Apply Acne OC cream (Niacinamide) during the daytime for two weeks.
-
Apply Clindamycin clear gel twice daily for two weeks.
Attach a clinical picture to assess your acne grade so I can guide you further.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
