Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your short description and I can understand your concerns.
Acne is a frustrating disease especially in adolescents.
We follow a step wise treatment plan acne and most of the cases can be managed effectively with treatment.
I suggest you to do the following under the supervision of an experience dermatologist:-
(1)- Start with a topical anti acne medications like "retinoids" they are derived from vitaminA and highly effective for acne. For milder lesions you can apply benzyl peroxide wash.
(2)- Since your lesions found infected you can also use topical "clindamycin" gel once in day.
(3)-
Oral antibiotics like "doxycycline" is needed as there are many nodules on your face. Once daily dose is used,"minocycline" is another alternative to doxycycline.
For treating
acne scars, you have to consult a deramtologist with special interest in cosmetology and procedures like
laser resurfacing and
dermabrasion may be needed.
You can also try the following
home remedies.
1.Do not squeeze or puncture the acne nodules.
2.Apply steam to your face frequently.
3.Wash your face frequently with good moisturizing creams.
4.Avoid fatty and oily foods.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
Dr.Shinas Hussain
