What Is The Treatment To Get Rid Of Acne?
i recently got off my acne treatment using: minocycline, clindamycin and retin-A. I wash my face twice a day using a face wash with no acne medication like salicylic acid. And i started breaking out again. Ive been doing all the procedures except without the prescriptions. What do i do???

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face and you taking medication for that which is due to clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected . I would suggest you to use face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is natural extract and safe for use . If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis and to rule out any underlying condition . Doctor may prescribe isoteritenoin , steroid ointment or antibiotics course. Take Multivitamin supplements. Exfoliate your skin once in a week to remove the dead skin. Apply Adapelene gel once at night.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
