Suggest Treatment To Remove Face Acne

Hi there. I got my cheeks waxed a few days ago. That day my skin was clean and felt nice, then slowly acne started to develop. And now, three days later, my cheeks are very inflamed and I have tons of acne and bumps. What can I do to reduce the redness and the acne?

Hi,

As you said you have acne vulgaris. You may have genetic tendency. Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease. Stress,insomnia,oily food,drug like steroids, hormonal imbalace..etc may stimulate or exacerbate acne. You take minocycline 50 mg daily in morning and isotretinoin 10 mg at night for few months or till you get good result. Apply clindamycine gel on lesions at night. Clean the face with antiseptic face wash like acmed face wash. Avoid all factors as suggested. You may become alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
