Suggest Treatment For Acne And Pimple Problem Of My Face
Hi sir, I am suffering from problems of pimple and acne for a long time..they seem to appear almost all over my face including my T-zone, forehead, cheeks. They also leave black spots. Im scared of using any cream, on the other hand it feels dry if I do not apply any moisturizer after washing my face. A friend suggested that I use nadoxin cream. Plz suggest me what should I do?

If I was the treating doctor I would suggest that you use a gel based sunscreen, that which offers both UV A and UV B protection, throughout the day.
Once daily azaleic acid cream can be used at night, at the start of therapy along with topical clindamycin gel or benzoyl peroxide gel, over active acne during the day. Azaleic acid works for both acne and pigmentation.
Other skin lightening ingredients that are effective for post acne hyperpigmentation are kojic acid, glycolic acid, hydroquinone etc
I would advice that you see a dermatologist. Your dermatologist might also choose to prescribe an oral antibiotic for inflammatory acne e.g either doxycycline or Azithromycin for 4-12 weeks.
