Suggest Treatment For Severe Acne

Hi, I am 27 years old female. I have been facing acne since teenage on my face and back. I have an oily skin type. I do not intake nuts or multi vitamin as they cause acne. I do not use make up products even. I have undergone various treatments but once done I get acne back. I recently had Chicken pox and I am left with marks and pits on face. Kindly suggest the preventive measures to avoid further acne and home remedies for pits.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain acne can occur due to a number of causes and oily skin, hormonal imbalances, bacterial infection, inflammation and excess sun exposure..
You can start washing your face with salicylic acid containing facewash.
You should apply creams containing Clindamycin+Niacinamide and Benzoyl peroxide to the pimples.
You can also apply Adapelene gel at night..
You should exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
You can do cool compresses over the pimples..
Avoid oily food and drink plenty of water..
For pits or scars it is not commonly completely resolved with topical treatment and you should consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and treatments like Fractional CO2 lazer, dermal rollers, microdermabrasion and excision etc can help in removing the scars..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
