Hello Dear. Treatment at home can help reduce acne flare-ups. • Wash your face (or other affected skin) gently one or two times a day. • Do not squeeze pimples, because that often leads to infections, worse acne, and scars. • Use a moisturizer to keep your skin from drying out. Choose one that says noncomedogenic on the label. • Use over-the-counter medicated creams, soaps, lotions, and gels to treat your acne. Always read the label carefully to make sure you are using the product correctly. Examples of some over-the-counter products used to treat acne include: • Benzoyl peroxide (such as Brevoxyl or Triaz), which unplugs pores. • Alpha hydroxy acid, which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel. You ll find alpha hydroxy acid in some moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams, and sunscreens. • Salicylic acid (such as Propa pH or Stridex), which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel. • Tea tree oil, which kills bacteria. You ll find tea tree oil in some gels, creams, and oils. with regards- Dr Sanjay Kini
