How Can I Stop Using 'lomela' And Get Healthy Skin?

I am using lomela since 6 years regularly. Now if i apply it daily, my skin remains healthy and beautiful, but even if i dnt apply it for 1 or 2 days, my skin is ugly as hell.. i feel steched skin.. it becomes rough, very dark and white heads starts appearing. I cant stop it even after experiencing redness in the skin most of the time(on of its side effects). how should i stop it and still look good?? Im 22 years old,, wheatish, Indian.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The side effects that you are having right now is because of steroid in lomela. So basically you are having steroid abuse.
My advise would be to stop it right away To counteract redness, roughness, darkness and whiteheads, please follow these suggestions
Use a mild face wash like cetaphil/episoft/cutirinz
Use a good moisturiser( elovera/efatop PE) twice in a day
Use clindamycin nicotinamide gel full face twice in a day to reduce bumps.
Take an oral antibiotic like doxy 100 mg twice daily and a good skin supplement rich in vitamin c antioxidants etc.

It is advisable that you meet a dermatologist near by as six years of lomela abuse must have damaged your skin irreversibly to some extent. Also you may use ask a specialist feature of this website to upload your face pics for a detailed discussion.
Take care
