Have Acne And Black Mark On Face. Prescribed Momate Cream And Antioxidant Capsules. Solution?

hi, i am suffering from ance and black marks on my face. I referred to dermatologist and he has prescribed me following medicine.

1 - Momate Cream
2 - Antioxidant capsules

I am on this medicine since one month but i feel it is not very effective. some times i feel it is reducing my acne and black marks and some times my face looks same as before.

Doctor told me to take this medicine for 3 months.

Please if you could suggest what should i do now.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to Healthcare Magic.

After reading your query I can make out that you have the problem of acne with its marks.
During youth it is quite common to find acne but the problem is of the marks and scars over the face which are rally difficult to be treated.
As per your query you have been prescribed with momate cream and antioxidant capsules. I don't think this is been prescribed by a dermatologist as it is not at all the main therapy or any therapy for acne.

Momate cream is an steroid which can give side effects of facial hair growth, thinning of skin and other side effects if use dfor long term. SO kindly so not use it longer than 2 weeks or if use it then be careful about side effect.

You should meet a proper dermatologist who can analyze the condition and type of acne with scars so that treatment can be provided accordingly.
Hope these informations will help.

"With good health wishes"
