Why Do I Suffer From Outbursts And Pimples On My Facial Skin?

Posted on Mon, 27 Jun 2022

Question: I still suffer from outbursts and pimples on my facial skin.My face,especially my nose,is pretty oily and so I'm a bit scared to experiment too much lest it backfires. What's the best routine/system to gradually remove the blemishes from my face and to maintain good facial hygiene for the future?

Brief Answer:
Salicylic acid facewash, sunscreen gel, non comedogenic moisturiser

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use a salicylic acid 1 percent facewash twice daily and use a broad spectrum sunscreen gel like faceguard gel or suncros soft gel on the face during the day time.
You can use a moisturizer at night.
Go for a non comedogenic moisturizer like cetaphil moisturizing lotion.
Also avoid sugary foods, cosmetics, hot and humid weather and stay in cool airy environment.
For your blemishes use a kojic acid based cream like kojiglo cream on the marks twice daily.

I hope to have answered your queries and would be happy to answer any further queries.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet
