hello doctor.I am priyanka, 25 year old. I got pimples at this stage however I have no pimple problem in my teen age. Specially in my forehead and this pimples left lots of spot on my face and forehead. please help. also my skin is very sensitive and dry. my skin looks dull.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical antiacne gel like either clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide gel once or twice daily.
A topical retinoid e,g adapalene or tretinoin should be used once daily at night. It not only exfoliates existing acne but also prevents formation of new comedones/ comedogenesis.
Oral treatment for acne includes oral antibiotics and oral retinoids. Oral antibiotics are mainly given for inflammatory acne whereas oral retinoids for the most severest of acne or acne unresponsive to traditional antiacne medications. I would advice that you see a dermatologist for a proper discussion regarding the best approach for your acne.
regards
