Hello Thank you for posting on HCM. Acne, as you must be aware is pretty common condition caused chiefly due to hormonal influence and clogging of pores and followed by infection and inflammation. It has tendency for recurrence and complications like pigmentation and scarring, thus mandates proper treatment at the earliest. Since you have not mentioned your age and sex, its difficult to layout proper treatment for you. Isotretinoin is a wonderful drug for acne but should be used with extreme precautions in women of child-bearing age as it can lead to severe birth defects. Treatment of acne also depends on its severity. Usually, I advise a proper course of oral antibiotics with or without oral isotretinoin for few months. Also recommend a solution containing clindamycin twice day all over affected areas and similarly a gel containing benzoyl peroxide and adapalene (EPIDUO gel) at bedtime. Use good quality bar like Acne-aid bar for bathing and a moisturizer like Cetaphil DAM on regular basis. Avoid junk food as far as possible and include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Hope this will take care of your condition. Wish you best of health. Dr Hardik Pitroda
