Suggest Treatment For Acne And Its Scars
hi, i'm 24 years old and live in the UK. I have acne problems which then leave me with scars on my face. I visited a doctor in india and she gave me Demelan cream, Benzoyl peroxide cream and Clindamycin & nicotinamide gel. It has worked really well. I have now run out of these creams. Are these creams available in the uk or can i use alternative?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have noticed acne scars which is very common in your age group which occur because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and there are hormonal changes in this age group. Well you can easily get these medication sin UK. Otherwise you should apply Meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use as this is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time. Drink plenty of water. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks. Apply aloe vera gel at night.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
