Best Medication To Relieve From The Long Acne Problem
I was just looking for the acne products online when i came to know about this website.I find it really helpful and informative.
i have been facing acne problem for the last 10-12 years.I am 26 now.I have consulted quite a lot of skin doctors but nobody could help me out.The only medicine that helped me was Isotretinoin (Sotret) but the main problem with it are the side effects attached with it like extreme lip cracking and dryness followed with lethargy.So I stopped using it right now.
My skin is little different.Due to severe acne in my childhood it started causing damage to my skin by having very large open pores,acne scars, as well as uneven tone on my skin.Every now and then i have been encountered with big pus filled white headed acne on my face,shoulders,hips which gets off by time but leaves marks as well as large pits on my cheeks,side of the forehead etc.
Also my skin complexity is getting dark day by day.
Please help me out with the regimen that i should follow for the treatment of large open pores,acne scars, large pits and white headed pus filled acne.I have never tried retina-A gel so shall i go for it or not.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for pimples on your face. Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say.
A gel containing clindamycin phosphate 1.2% w/w and tretinoin gel can be very helpful to you for long term. The only precaution you should follow is to apply the cream in very thin layer and that too over affected area only.
In your kind of acne the best treatment is by isotretinoin capsules under strict dermatological supervision only.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of acne can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
