Could You Please Look Into The Attached Pictures And Suggest?

Posted on Tue, 15 Apr 2025

Question: Hello Doctor, I got the peel off waxing done on face from Lakme two days ago. I had got the waxing on chin and lip area done earlier but got it done on face for the first time. Looks like I have got some allergy. I have tried applying aloe vera gel but still didn't help. Could you please look into the attached pictures and suggest? Thanks in advance. Regards, Shravani.

Brief Answer:
Acneform eruption

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You seem to have developed acneform eruption on face. I suggest you to use topical clindamycin gel 1% , twice daily. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g doxycycline 100mg once daily for 2-3 weeks. These are prescription medications. Avoid soap on face, rather use a mild cleanser for face wash like Cetaphil gentle cleaning lotion, twice daily

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thanks Doctor. Wanted to check if this would reduce in 2-3weeks and will there be any scars/marks left.
