What Causes Severe Acne On The Cheek While Having Low Hemoglobin Level?

Hi. I am a 28 year old female. Since a couple of months I am having immense acne on my cheek. Have gone through a course of medicine that included (sotret-40 mg, aldactone-25mg, fucos-150 mg, faceclin gel and epiduo gel) but nothing helped. In fact it led to other physical issues. Recently I have been diagnosed with low hemoglobin (8). Apart from feeling little tired sometimes I don t have any other issues. Also, my skin isn t too oily and don t have dandruff too. Please help.

Hi,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe acne on the cheek which is mainly due to impaired immune system, hormonal changes and could be due to medication side effects.

I would suggest you to wash your face with facewash containing salicylic acid and exfoliate your skin once a week. You should apply raw honey on acne for 15 minutes daily and then wash.

Drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (clindamycin) along with retinoids, anti inflammatory and corticosteroid cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
     
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari,
