What Causes Sudden Onset Of Acne On Face?
Hi, my name is sandhya , recently i have undergone sinus surgery and was put into antibiotics for sometime mainly amoxicillin. Then after some time i started getting acne on my face especially in the places where i never got any pimple.
i learnt that this is due to the antibiotics. Please suggest how to get rid of it.

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sudden onset of acne on face when there are hormonal changes. I would suggest you to wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day and consult your dermatologist if condition doesn't get better for proper examination .Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics or oral retinods. Take Multivitamin supplements. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. Don't pick or touch acne. You should take oral contraceptives only after prescription or you should go for hormone therapy replacement as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
