How To Get Rid Of Pimples And Acne?
Hi!
I have been quite baffled by my current situation with acne. I am a 31 year old female who had a bout of teenage pimples that lasted till I was 18. About a year ago, my face blew up with pimples some often painful (a nerve pain) and it would dry up but a new set of pimples would crop up again. I consulted a dermatologist who has put me on a medication to obviously cover the problem but she mentioned that I should see an endrocinologist since this involves an hormonal imbalance. Since that is pretty hard to do in this part of the world or to find the right one can you please suggest a safe, natural way to get my hormones in balance. Even with the dermatologist's treatment a new set of pimple come up when the old ones have dried up! HELP!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have noticed f pimples and acne which occur because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and there is clogging of skin pores and it leads to post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. Need not toowrry. apply clindamycin gel on face. You should apply Meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use as this is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time. I would suggest you to wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day. Drink plenty of water. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks. Apply aloe vera gel at night.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
