Hi doctor,

I am a 24 year old female. I have a skin problem on and off for the past two years. The doctor said that it is not acne and I had undergone homeopathy. But, I did not get any improvement from that. Also, it is not an allergy. It is so embarrassing to have this type of skin. I also took some acne medicine, but did not suit me and I just started getting chest pain. With this skin condition, I cannot go outside the house. I eat good food and I do not have drinking and smoking habits. Now, what shall I do? Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  • To be frank bumps and irregular surface never respond to any medications. The only treatment option for these is laser resurfacing with or without chemical peeling.
  • Chemical peeling would work in hyperpigmented area, acne as well as bumpiness.
  • Nevertheless, you can use Isotretinoin 40 mg once at night for acne. Pregnancy is strictly contraindicated with this medication for acne.
  • With Brevoxyl creamy facial wash (Benzoyl peroxide), wash your face twice daily and Deriva CMS cream (Adapalene) at night over the acne.
