Suggest Remedy For Acne Marks On Face
I'm a 17 year old boy living in pakistan, I have two problems, firstly I'm 5 feet 11.5 inches and I weigh 62 kilograms, how do I gain more weight? Secondly, my acne does not go away, and when it does, my acne scars which are on my face for four years are really unpleasant to look at, how do I stop acne and make these scars go away forever? Thank you.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne marks on face which is because of sebaceous gland under the hair follicle , when sebum get accumulated in clogged duct of sebaceous gland along with dead skin and bacteria they produce acne. You should focus on muscle mass and take diet rich in proteins. 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. Apply vitamin E oil at night. . You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzoyl peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes doctor may also prescribe antibiotics.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
