Hello doctor I have been suffering from acne for almost a year, however it started with cheeks and left marks and now I have pimples on my forehead I had dandruff but I used head and shoulder so my dandruff is under control and I have fair skin so every time I get pimples it leaves dark marks which make me really unhappy and not confident also I live in Canada . Please suggest me something for for head pimples which are red and sometimes white and marks . Thanks
Thanks for your query . Treatment of acne is very easy if follow right direction and medicines .
Acne basically formed due to clogged pores of sebaceous glands , dead skin , sebum and bacteria get entraped in it . Bacteria cause infection and from fluid filled acne .
I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid for acne or cream containing isoteritenoin.
For acne marks aloe vera is very effective natural product also use azelaic acid cream .
For treatment of dandruff use candid TV shampoo twice a week . apply it on moist scalp and leave it for 10 minutes then wash away .
If condition persist for more then a month then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course for acne and procedure like microneedling (collagen induce therapy) or chemical peeling for acne marks.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
