Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face which occurs occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You are taking Novelon and still getting acne and weight gain. I would suggest you to start with application of aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once and get it examined. you an go for antibiotics ( clindamycin ) , corticosteroid ointment , hydroquinone , laser therapy and dermabrasion only after doctors prescription. Do not scratch pimples as they will get infected. Also drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
