Is It Safe To Use Supatert Gel And Sotret For Acne And Dry Skin?

I consulted a dermatologist and she suggested supatret c gel for acne along with some tablets and sotret soap and keracynyl foaming gel. I feel its working but its making my skin very dry and have an irritation in the skin. Can I continue using the medicines and soap? And what can I do about the drying skin?

Hi dear ,

As per your query you have pimple problem and doctor prescribed you supatert gel and sotret tablets and you are suffering from irritation on skin and dryness . Well the gel prescribed by doctor contain teritenoin and tablet contain isoteritenoin which sometimes known to cause allergy of skin as irs side effects . I would suggest you to immediately stop using these medicines and consult your dermatologist about it . Doctor may prescribe alternative medicine or alter dose . For now use facewash containing benzoyl peroxide , apply cream containing azelaic acid twice a day and drink plenty of water .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
