Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello ! Im 21 yeras old and dealing with acne for a year now. I never had before. They appear mostly in the cheek area before or after my periods. Most of them heve left scars and i want to know what can i do to prevent them ? Is there any infection that causes it? What analysis do i have to do?
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..
As per your complain it seems to be due to hormonal imbalances that you suffer from acne post mensuration.. I would suggest you to start washing your face with salicylic acid and glycolic acid containing face wash.. Apply benzoyl peroxide gel and clindamycin gel over the pimples.. You can also apply azelic acid containing creams.. Scrub your face twice a week with a gentle face scrub.. Limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun.. You can also take multivitamin supplements and go for treatments like chemical peeling, microdermabrasion, dermal rollers etc..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards. Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
