I am having acne problem from atleast one year. Last year in summer when they appeared i checked the doctor and he gave benzyne oxide which burned them and left scars. This summer they have showed up again and are more severe, i have bumps on my face, pimples, pointed pimples and scars too. I have done every home remedy with the passage of time, please tell me what should i do ?
Acne is a disease of the hair follicles and affects almost all teenagers during puberty. Acne occurs when sebaceous glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated at the time of puberty or due to other hormonal changes. 1. Apply locally Clindoxyl gel (clindamycin + benzyl peroxide) at bed time for a month 2. Doxycycline 50 mg daily per oral for 30 days. If you are pregnant then do not use doxycycline 3. Use Acne aid soap three time daily for cleaning your face 4. Do not squeeze pimples as it will cause scarring 5. Keep pimples untouched 6. Try to avoid use of unbranded cosmetics unnecessarily 7. Avoid mental stress as it aggravates acne Thanks
