Suggest Treatment For Pimples And Acne Despite Using Deriva Gel
Hello sir/ madam, im varsh. And i have been prescribed deriva c gel for my acne. But i have experienced that deriva c gel seems to worsen my pimples and then after more use of it the pimples flatten. Should it be like this or shall i have to consult my dermatologist again?
I have gone through your question and you appear to be suffering from Acne Vulgaris. If I were your treating physician I would recommend TREATMENT: Clindamycin phosphate gels/creams ( deriva c gel contains adalapene and clindamycin) applied locally on acne twice daily. VitaminA creams only to be applied in a very little amount only at the acne at bedtime. Daily application of a sunscreen . face wash/ soaps formulated against acne to be used.
if your case is of a severe acne you may be prescribed Vitamin A capsules.....but they have to be regulated by a dermatologist due to their potential side effects.
for scar marks vitamin c creams are beneficial.
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
