Should I Switch Back To Acnestar And Betnovate-C Cream If Clinsure, Taiyu Silk, And Acnovate Aren T Effectively Treating My Acne?
Hello Doctor, I had been using three prescribed products which is clinsure cleansing lotion, taiyu silk moisturising cream and acnovate gel. But I don t find anything effective. The Doctor said it would show the results within 15-20 days. But fairly it isn t that visible. My skin just feels moisturized but my acnes are still there and my pores are now always opened. And there s always red or white puss like bumps on my face. I used acnestar and betnovate-c cream 5-6 months earlier and I found that more effective and satisfied. Should I switch to them???

Hello,
Wash your face 3-4 times a day with plain water or a herbal face wash. Do not let dust, or oil accumulate on your skin. Do face steaming once or twice a week or get it done in a parlor. It will help to remove all dust / debris and oil from clogged pores after that use a clean ice cube and gently move it all over the face. It will help to close the pores.
Only applying ointment, and creams will not give the desired result. You will have to make lifestyle changes. Take bath regularly. Wear soft, clean cotton clothes that are loosely fitting. Avoid oily, spicy, hot food. Take only a few pieces of nonveg or its better to avoid taking it. Take homemade, balanced nutritious food that is cooked in little oil or is boiled.
Prefer to take yogurt, avocados, nuts, fruits, berries and tomatoes. Keep yourself well hydrated, take cucumbers. And omega 3 fish. Include leafy greens and turmeric in your diet. Avoid sugary food, stay away from smoking, alcohol & addictions if any. Avoid using soap on face, apply face pack with turmeric twice daily to get rid of acnes.
You can take a course of antibiotics like Doxy-100mg, twice daily for 5 days. Take it after food. You can apply a thin layer of Betnovate C on the areas affected at bedtime for 5-7 days. Do not apply it for a longer period as it will do more harm than good. Maintain a healthy lifestyle for healthy skin and clear complexion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
