Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am having facial hairs, acne and pores problem for the past five years. I have tried almost everything but have not had good results. I am currently using E-dox DT, Isotretinoin 10 mg. I have done a blood test.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I can understand your concern but your problem seems to be hormone related. I would recommend you to get these tests done such as thyroid function tests, serum testosterone levels, serum dehydroepiandrosterone, serum prolactin levels, fasting insulin levels and ultrasound pelvis to rule out PCOD (polycystic ovary syndrome). Meanwhile, I would recommend you to start with tablet Minoz OD (Minocycline Hydrochloride) 100 mg once daily at night, Tracnil sachet (Myoinositol, folic acid and vitamin D) twice daily. Use Facecare facewash twice daily and Epiduo gel on the pimples at bedtime for 30 minutes and then wash it off with plain water. Continue this for four weeks and revert.

Thank you doctor,
I have taken ultrasound, thyroid and insulin tests and they are all normal there is no PCOD problem.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Then you can start with these medicines and revert after four weeks. If possible go for sessions of chemical peel. It will help in hastening recovery.
