Suggest Treatment For Acne Problem
I have an Acne problem but it is not that severe sometimes my skins clears up and i won't have an out break for weeks and so but then again it comes back. I have used Pro Active and Exposed solutions but they didn't work. I have also used Benzolyperoxide products they work for a while and then same things happens again an out break. Now finally i have decided to use Accutane to treat this acne problem without any doctor's advice. Is it safe to use this drug without doc advice? Should i use it or not? but i am desperate to treat my acne.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query acne problem occurs when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. You want to use Accutane which is good to use. Accutane contains isoretinoin and is used to treat severe acne but you should not use it without prescription as it will lead to side effects as well. 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. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isoteritenoin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
