Is Using Epitheliale Ah Safe To Treat Acne And Scars On Face?

I shifted from Canada to India and immediately developed acne for the first time in life. My skin doctor gave me isotretinion 5 mg for 10 days. He did a clean up which was very painful and gave a cream epitheliale. Will the marks remain. Should I trust the prescription and cream. I am worried about the cream since I have very good and normal skin overall.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain Acne can occur due to a number of causes like oily skin, hormonal imbalances, clogged pores, back infection, inflammation etc..
As you are advised Isotretinoin that is a retinoid and is appropriate to cure Acne..
Along with it Epithelial AH cream helps in repairing damagedbskin and you can very much continue using the SA.E as it helps in nourishing and repairing your skin..
In case if Acne are still present you can apply creams like Benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin over them..
You can also apply cool compresses over the pimples to reduce inflammation..
In case if there are dark spots apy Kojic Acid, Glycolic acid, arbutin and Vitamin E containing creams..
Avoid oily food and excess sun exposure..
Drink plenty of water and take more of green leafy vegetables in diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
