Hello ,
Thanks for writing your query to us.
You should not completely stop any medicines without consulting your doctor. You should continue the medicines which your doctor has prescibed. You are bound to get acne flare up once you stop the treatment. 1 month time is too short for complete cure of acne.Other thing you should maintain a good skin care regimen daily without fail. Use sunscreen before going out of home.
Take care.
hi, for acne to be treated properly it has to be clearly understood whether it is mild, moderate or severe in nature. In other words, it has to be seen what kind of lesions are you having predominantly that is whether you are having more of comedones or papules or pustules or severe nodules cysts and abscesses. . The treatment plan changes accordingly. The chances of scarring and pigmentation are more with pustular nodular acne or with cysts and abscesses. What i understand from your prescription is you are having more of papulo pustualar acne. If the above medicines are not suiting you well,an oral antibiotic along with different set of topical medicines and a good anti acne soap needs to be prescribed. You could also take chemical peels as they will not only help in acne but will also take care of post acne pigmantation. Hope that answers your query. take care
