Q. How to treat pimples, pimple scars, and hyperpigmentation on the cheeks?
Hello doctor,
I have a few pimples and a few pimple scars mainly on my cheeks. I consulted a dermatologist who prescribed me Faceclin gel for the morning and Acnorm Lacto calamine lotion at night for the scars. I have oily skin and I used Cetaphil oily skin cleanser twice a day. The Acnorm lotion is too watery and I have been told that there are other better gels for hyperpigmentation. I had a pimple issue three years back for which I was prescribed Clindac gel and Aziderm and it worked well but I stopped using it after a year. Should I stick with the Acnorm lotion or any other gel for the scars? Should I stick with the Cetaphil oily cleanser or is there a better cleanser for my skin type? Kindly suggest a good sunscreen suitable for my oily skin.
