Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 18 years old. Can I use Fucicort cream on my pimples?

Answered by Dr. Gaurang Gupta

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your query.

No, never use it on pimples. Pimple is somewhat hormonal and due to oily skin. Following are the suggestions for your problem:

1. Do not use hair oil and any sticky cream on the face.

2. Avoid oily food, chocolate, and milk products.

3. Avoid dust and use sunscreen above 30 SPF (sun protection factor).

4. Do not rub any cream on the face.

5. Do not use any steroid creams.

6. Continue treatment for at least one month.

7. Facewash or soap is not a treatment and is not much use useful.

8. Do not touch acne and avoid pressing it.

For treatment, I suggest you use the following:

1. Clindamycine (Clintop, Faceclin, Clear gel). This is more preventive and curative, so I tell patients to use it all over their faces in the morning.

2. Adapalene gel (Adalene and Defferine). Use it over acne in the night.

3. Tablet Doxy (Doxycycline) 100 mg once a day.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
