General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
For the problem of acne, wash your face thrice daily using mild soap solution to keep the skin in good hygiene. Then apply at bedtime everyday on the lesions only Clindamycin cream and Retinoic acid cream. Do not eat high calorie and oily foods. Since stress is also one of the cause, you can practice meditation to keep your mind calm. Your acne problem will reduce and gradually come down.
For your oily scapl, dandruff and hair fall problem, use Ketoconazole shampoo daily for 3 weeks and alternate days thereafter. Twice a week along with it you need to use Selenium and Zinc containing shampoo as well.
By a month time, your problems of scalp and acne should reduce and come under good control.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
