Brief Answer:
Regarding acne
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First of all I would suggest you to avoid doing any home peels. You should use a gentle cleanser for face wash e.g cetaphil gentle cleansing lotion, twice daily. I also suggest you to use benzoyl peroxide gel for active acne e.g benzac AC 2.5% gel or microbenz 3.5% gel, twice daily. In addition I would also suggest you to take an oral antibiotic e.g Doxycycline 100mg, twice daily for 2-4 weeks.
hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thank you doc for your quick reply. I am intaking thyronorm 75 mcg daily. Is it ok to have doxycyline100mg along with it.. i forgot to mention about the thyroid earlier. This peel was done by beautician..she gave me a pack ( muttani mitti) to apply daily morning. Should i continue using the pack.. should i do any blood test?
Also please advise how to get rid of ance spots due to veg peel. Is it ok to lactomamine and aloe vera..

Hi.
Yes it is fine if you take Doxycycline while on thyroid treatment. For spots I would suggest you to use a kojic acid and hydroquinone combination cream e.g either Radant lite cream or Depiwhite cream or Kojiglo forte cream, twice daily. Use it once your acne activity is under control.
take care.
