Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Redness of the skin may be caused by rosacea or sensitive skin. Textured skin is likely due to acne and post-acne scars.

To manage red skin, please avoid spicy foods, sun exposure, and hot coffee. For textured skin, I will prescribe some medication for acne. If possible, please share a few photos so we can assess any scarring and plan accordingly.

At this time, I will not start any oral medications; we will begin with a few ointments and, based on your response, we can determine the next steps.

Here is what you should apply:

  1. Ozenoxacin cream in the morning over the bumps.

  2. Benzoyl peroxide 2.5 % gel at night over the acne.

  3. SPF (sun protection factor) 50 sunscreen in the morning.

  4. Ceramides and Hyaluronic acid moisturizer for sensitive skin.

I hope this answers your query. Feel free to reach out anytime.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Continue the creams that I advised earlier, and add a tab of Azithromycin 500 mg three times per week for three weeks. Use a Salicylic acid-based face wash.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
