Hi XXXXXX

Thanks for writing in.

Acne is caused by hormonal imbalance .exceess of testesterone after puberty causes acne.

they can continue till 35 years of age.

They are not related to pickle or anyfood stuff.

Very effective treatment of acne in form Isotretinoin is available now.

Isotretinoin with salicylic acid peel and cryotherapy is very effective.

It can stop acne for long period like year or more.

It cannot be cured as cause is XXXXXXX and is hormone related.

If you have any further query do let me know.

Regards.
