hello,,i understand your situation
acne vulgaris is a common skin disease presenting as sebborrhoea(red scaly),papular,pustular,cystic,comedones(black and white heads)..
due to excess of testesterone,causing increased sebum and hypertrophy of sebaceous glands often infected by proprionum bacterium acne and staph epidemidis..varies from person to person and same person at various times due harmonal level variations
some times it causes scars, causing reduced self esteem and psyological effects like depression
remember that most of the people get rid of this by 25yrs..
so dont get panic,depressed,,trust yourself that it is quite normal and self limiting and no mistake of yours to feel bad about it..
all you need to do is keep your body clean,wash your face 10 to 12 times with clean water,wipe with clean seperate towel,use soap 2 to 3 times only,eat healthy,avoid high caloric diet choclates sweets,milk ,milk products,oils,junk food,retinoid creams,benzoyl peroxide,antibiotics on advice of dermatologist
and
more important beleive in yourself,be confident,you are going to be normal soon bye take care,,,all the best

Dermatologist Dr. Neera Kataria's  Response
Hi, thanks for your query.

You seem to have developed post acne hyper pigmentation spots.

Dermadew soap contains emollients which keep the face hydrated and do not dry the face like other soaps. It may be used on face but it will not help in reduction of pigmentation. For reduction of the spots you may do as follows:

-Apply a kojic acid based cream daily at night.
-Use a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection during the day.
-You may get a few sessions of chemical peels
-Avoid picking or squeezing acne as it leads to pigmented spots.

Hope this helps you.
