Brief Answer: Acneiform lesions over body,need regular treatment Detailed Answer: Hi again I have seen the attached pictures . You have acneiform lesions over your back. Now this problem is sometimes difficult to treat since it is mainly associated with an oily skin type. I hope you are not taking any oral tablets like steroids or any other medicines on daily basis. Even body supplements taken for increasing muscle mass can lead to such chronic lesions. You should avoid application of any creams or oils over body. You would need a regular course of oral antibiotics to get rid of this problem. Since you have not provided details of the medicines that you have already taken,I would suggest you to start with a course of oral azithromycin 500 mg to be taken once a day for five days. Then you can repeat this five day course after a gap of two weeks. You might need to take atleast four courses of this medicine . Also you need to apply topical medicines along. You can start using clindamycin gel over the lesions twice a day. Use something like dettol soap for taking bath on regular basis. Wear cotton undergarments . I am sure if you follow the above approach regularly ,it will help you in solving your current problem. Also as far as tablet calpanto or tablet cp 100 is concerned,it is really not that difficult to find. There might be unavailability of this particular brand in your city. You can ask a good pharmacy for calcium pantothenic acid 100 mg tablets. Take these thrice a day as advised. Hope it helps Please ask if you need any further clarifications Dr Geetika Paul
