hello,
welcome to healthcare magic.
i will be glad to be of assistance.
acne is a natural part of every individual's life from teenage years to the age of 25.
you fall into that age group.
hence you are getting acne.
its not a disease which can be cured , however we can keep it in control but you still get a few lesions.
dont take isotretinoin if you are having side effects with it.
you can try out salicylic peels once every 2 weeks with your dermatologist.
also using combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide cream in the morning, azelaic acid 10% cream in the evening and combination of Retinoic acid and clindamycin cream in the night will be helpful.
please try out this regimen.
regards
