Suggest Treatment For Acne And Pimples
Hi My skin used to be clear except for a few blackheads on the T-zone due to my combination skin. But suddenly from the past 5 months my skin condition has been worsening and my skin has developed acne and its bad. I tried ayurveda but pimples used to return. Then I consulted a dermatologist and he gave me Epiclin gel which contains clindamycin and nicotinamide for topical application and aldactone 2.5mg for every alternate day alongwith c-vit tablets and dermogemina face wash. Its a 6 week course but its been two weeks and the progress is really slow. Someone suggested me to use erytop gel. Should I start using that instead of epiclin?? I am getting very impatient I know but I don t like my face like this full of red pimple scars and pimples

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query acne and pimples occur when there is hormonal changes, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You are already taking so much medicine but not get benefited. I would suggest you to make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. You can take erytop gel as well. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day.If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
