Good day Dr. after my second baby was born, i had a tubal ligation done. i went on to breast feed for 20 months and after 30 days of stopping, i got my period. it is now 6 months and i find my face is breaking out in acne and becoming dark spots - previously i did not have an acne problem. I am no longer on a pill since i had a tubal ligation. I dont want these breakouts any more as it is just destroying my face. Please help
I can understand your concern for pimples on your face. Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say.
A gel containing clindamycin phosphate 1.2% w/w and tretinoin gel can be very helpful to you for long term. The only precaution you should follow is to apply the cream in very thin layer and that too over affected area only.
In your kind of acne the best treatment is by isotretinoin capsules under strict dermatological supervision only.
If I were your dermatologist then I would have suggested you to use azelaic acid cream or Kojic acid cream or glycolic acid cream or licorice extract or arbutine creams at night time in guidance of dermatologist.
The most important part is to use a sunscreen regularly in open environment and on exposure to sun.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
