Dermatologist,  's  Response
Thank you for query.there is no permanent cure for acne.As they depend on hormonal effects, sebaceous gland secretion etc.It gradually reduces with age usually in both severity and appearance.So only good control can be acheived by regular face wash with cleanser,topical keratolytics and antibiotics, if necessary oral antibiotics.treat if any dandruff with ketoconazole shampoos.I do not recommend isotretinoin for long term.You can get back directly to me for any clarifications with the photos.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
