Suggest Treatment For Severe Acne On The Face
Hi I m a teen and my grandfather had awful acne back in his days, my mother also had and doesn t that much anymore and I have it now pretty bad. I ve tried so many store bought products and I ve realized none of them worked so now I don t really use them that much. I want to end this acne now and forever. It s not pretty my face hurts just because it s full of acne. Have a lot of whiteheads, blackheads on my nose, and so much more. I would be so happy to have a clear face again, I understand why I have it, I have it because other family members have it and it passes around the family. But sometimes I realize why why me why do I have to live with this. Everything I ve tried doesn t work and it s depressing, face is sometimes itchy too. When they get big they are painful. Please please please tell me what should I do, I hate it so much!? Sometimes I cry because everything I do DOES NOT WORK please help as soon as possible

Hi,
As per your complain pimples can occur due to causes like:
- Clogged pores
- Oily skin
- Hormonal imbalances
- Bacterial infection
- Inflammation
- Excess sun exposure, etc.
You should consult a dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash. Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide. Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time.
Do cool compresses over face. Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin. You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun. Oral medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised. Avoid oily food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
