Hello Thank you for posting on HCM. Acne, as you must be aware is pretty common condition caused chiefly due to hormonal influence and clogging of pores and followed by infection and inflammation. Treatment usually depends on severity of of acne. Usually I advise proper course of oral antibiotics with or without oral isotretinoin for few months. Apply a pea-size amount of cream containing nadifloxacin/clindamycin twice day all over face and similarly a gel containing benzoyl peroxide and adapalene (EPIDUO gel) at bedtime for 1 hour followed by face wash. Use good quality face wash like Fash foaming facewash and a moisturizer like Cetaphil DAM on regular basis. Avoid junk food as far as possible and include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Hope this will take care of your condition. Thank you Dr Hardik Pitroda
