Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello I notice that I have acne/redness on my face in the center T-zone area and I believe it the cause of me using Hydrocortisone with Aloe for so long which did help with the redness and breakouts! Now after reading how it can do more harm than good, what can I do to help rebuild skins cells if that is a term used! My skin care regime is Mary Kay Time Wise 3-in-1 Cleanser and Ant-Aging moisturizer normal/dry. Also, the 3-in-1 is cleaner, exfoliate, and toner in one. However Because I wear liquid foundation I use Witch hazel to take make-up off first....then cleanse ....then tone again with witch hazel then moisturize. Morning and night I do this regimen. As a woman of color am I doing too much and is this regimen causing me breakouts?????
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne and redness on face which seems to be due to allergic reaction and due to clogging of skin pores with sebum and dust particles. Need not to worry. You should exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin from your face. Apply betnovate on acne twice a day for 2-3 days. You should apply kojivit cream on these acne. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. You should go for blood tests to find any kidney related systemic pathology. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isotretinoin. You can go for laser therapy as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
