Suggest Treatment For Severe Acne

I live in Canada. My daughter age 39 still gets bad acne when under stress. Her skin cleared up perfectly with clinoxyl gel but in Canada there is a shortage. Where can I get it. I live close to the U.S. border. If I got a prescription, can I go to the States (Watertown NY) and get this. Do they have a shortage of clinoxyl gel too. Also if clinoxyl gel is not available, is RetinoAC gel good?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe acne on face which could be due to hormonal imbalance, stress and clogging of skin pores. I would suggest you to wash your face with face-wash containing salicylic acid , exfoliate your skin once a week , apply raw honey on acne for 15 minutes daily and then wash , drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. You can get clindamycin gel easily need not to worry. You can apply adapelene gel as well at night. Ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids will be beneficial for you. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get proper prescription and start treatment.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
