Suggest Treatment For Acne
Question: Hello Doctor
I am having some skin allergy since last 3-4 days now. I earlier thought it to be some cut so was applying to right side - betadine. But this has spread to a larger area now. I am practicing healthy shaving procedure. Please let me know what cream should I apply, will Momate help here. I am attaching the pictures for your reference.
They are red in color and there is hardly any itching. I just have used Betnovate.
Please suggest the cause or it and the treatment.

Brief Answer:
Seems to be acne, use benzoyl peroxide gel
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and this seems to be acne.
It is usually caused by hormonal changes in the body.
Don't use momate or Betnovate cream on these bumps. These are steroidal preparations and will increase the eruption.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent gel on these bumps twice daily for 10-14 days.
These will resolve.

Dr Asmeet
