Suggest Remedy For Underskin Blotches And Old Man's Acne

I am a 64 year old male living in Spain. Some 15-20 years ago, when living in England I developed a lot of underskin blotches and the old pimple on my face only. My doctor diagnosed "old man's acne" and prescribed a medication to me which I took for many years. One tablet per day seemed to sort out the problem. When I moved to Spain, I stopped taking the tablets and my skin seemed to clear, I assume because of the climate. However, in the last six months or so the symptoms has reoccurred and I wonder if you could provide me with the name of a medication that I can request in the chemist here in Spain. Otherwise I am fit for my age, don't smoke, don't drink too much, 5'10" in height and weigh 12s7lbs.

This may not be acne, but chances of comedone commonly seen in geriatric age group some time this comes around with "Hydroquinone cream" if this fails to work then laser treatment is the option, but for this you have to see the expert dermatologist, hope this information helps, have a nice day.
