General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I can understand your concern.You have been taking appropriate treatment from your physician.You must be patient because it takes very long time to get cured of acne.Scarring is a part of healing.Its advisable not to squeeze or even prick the acne which may leave ugly scars and black spots.
Following measures will help you prevent from acne
*Do not use soaps which leaves the skin dry.Use Dermadew soap
*Do not apply any cosmetics to face while taking treatment
*Apply sunscreen before you go out even in winter
*Take diet rich in fruits and vegetables
*Take a multivitamin supplement once daily
Hope my suggestions were helpful to you.Would be happy to answer any further concerns.
