Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello! I have been struggling with acne since about 7 years ago. i have tried several creams and drugs, to which i only got a temporary relief only for the acne reappeariing later. I was attended to by a dermatologist about 2 years back and he prescribed Retin A cream, bonzoyl peroxide and doxycap for me. I used it and the acne reappeared after about 7 months. Please enlighten me on what to do as I m tired of being on drugs and creams over and over again. Thanks for your time.
As first-line management, you can apply clindamycin lotion for symptomatic relief. If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
