Suggest Cure For Acne

Hello, I am 55 years old, my skin color is brown. About 6 to 8 months ago I noticed I was starting to get brown spots that were darker than my natural skin on my thighs, arms and back. This spots are not itchy at all. However I have noticed they seem to start like acne and turn red and seem to grow in diameter. they are about coin size and irregular in shape. Any ideas?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per you query you have acne on face brown in color which occurs when sebaceous gland under the hair follicle get blocked as sebum get accumulated in clogged duct of sebaceous gland along with dead skin and bacteria they produce acne. I would suggest you to wash you face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your face. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. Don't pick or touch acne. Apply apple cider vinegar then wash with warm water twice daily. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes docotr may also prescribe antibiotics. Apply vitamin E oil at night.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
