oral and topical medications

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
I have seen the attached pic also. Thanks for attaching the pic.

It seems that your sis is having grade 2 acne. For this, usually oral medications like azithromycin/ doxycycline/ minocycline is advised.

For topical use, I prefer to give benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent morning and retinoic acid 0.025 percent night tym if no contraindications for its use.

Dont pop up or squeeze the pimple.
Avoid hair oil application and oily food.

I hope it helps. If you have any further query you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
