How To Treat Pimples And Acne Scars?

Sir, I have acne problems for the last 2 years. I took homeopathic medicines in cream to get rid of pimples and acne scars. Sometimes, I get large red pimples which stay for 2 to 3 weeks and are full of puss, others are just red and stay for 1-2 weeks. NONE of the creams helped. What should I do from now on?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

U have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pimples or Acne Vulgaris can occur due to a number of causes like Excessive production of oil (sebum) from Sebaceous Glands, clogged pores, bacterial infection, Inflammation, excessive sun exposure, hormonal imbalances etc..
You should start washing your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash, apply Benzoyl Peroxide gel and Clindamycin or Erythromycin containing gels,do cold compresses, limit sun exposure and in case if you go into sun you can apply sunscreen lotion.. Drink plenty of water, take Multivitamin supplements and avoid oily food..
In case of no improvement consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you Oral antibiotics, retinoid and other treatments like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..
Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
