What Could Be The Reason For Having A White Or Yellow Discharge On My Face?
I get white/ yellow discharge on my face. Looks like it coming from my pores. I've tried various facial scrubs and moisturizers and even just plain soap but nothing works unless I really scrub my face hard with a towel. Even when I do that it reappears later or it even seems like my face is allergic to napkins when I clean my face after eating, cause the white pores reappear. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Hi,
I can understand your concern for having a white or yellow discharge on your face. After reading your query it appears to be due to pimples in yourself. Acne or pimples are youth related problem and is not a disease per say.
A gel containing clindamycin phosphate 1.2% w/w and tretinoin gel can be very helpful to you for long term. The only precaution you should follow is to apply the cream in very thin layer and that too over affected area only.
In cystic acne the best treatment is by isotretinoin capsules under strict dermatological supervision only.
Take a proper guidance and follow up with a good dermatologist so that all the problem of acne can be dealt best for future time.
Take care
