Suggest Remedy For Acne

I have been using whitening products like hydroquinone for 8 months and i got fairer complexion. In starting it was going all great but after a while pimples started showing on my face then i stopped using it now i have using niacinamide vitamin b3 powder topically. Can you please guide me whether i can mix this powder in whitening creams and how can i make a mixture? because when i m using this in rose water(5% conc.) then i am going back to dark complexion. So please suggest me the way to use it for whitening as well acne treatment. I don t want lose my current complexion but want gd of acne\pimples.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face which occurs when there is stress, dehydration, overuse of medications and when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. You can use this powder in 2-3 drops of milk and apply on face. I would suggest you to apply clearasil face wash twice a day as it contain salicylic acid which is very good for preventing acne. Apply betnovate on acne twice a day for 2-3 days. After washing face apply cream containing azelaic acid . If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic along with chemical peeling.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
