Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have hormonal acne in my jawline. They are not healing. I have an oily face. What can you recommend?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
I would like to know if the acne is limited only to the jawline area and the duration of the acne. Please send me a photograph of the lesion. I suggest you use a mild cleanser and sunscreen suitable for oily skin. Avoid junk foods and dairy products which could lead to a flare-up. Also, do not break your acne. I suggest you can add Clindamycin (topical antibiotic) and Niacinamide gel to your skincare routine. Apply Benzoyl peroxide (topical antibiotic) gel at night.
Kindly consult a doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
