Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe acne problem since 10 years which occur when there is hormonal changes, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. You should take multivitamin supplements. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Also wash area with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate area once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
