Acne , Pigmentation , redness or extremely oilyness near nose - #11339

Hello dear See the acne or pimples are mostly due to hormonal alterations or physiological variation in the body. I am suggesting some curative and preventive measures for improvement. Please follow them for 1 month 1. Topical Treatments -Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5–5%) Kills bacteria and is anti-inflammatory in action. Salicylic Acid or Adapalene 0.1% can also be given as additive medications (on recommendation only from concerned physician) 2.Clindamycin 1% Clindac A ,Tretinoin ( if already not taken). 3.Azelaic Acid 10 percent for two weeks. 4. Oral Medications -tablet Doxycycline 1 month twice a day for 1week

In addition use aloevera - tulsi solution to apply topically for 1 month

In case of no improvement in 1 month, kindly consult dermatologist in person for better clarification Hopefully you recover soon Regards

When dealing with acne, pigmentation, and an oily nose, the focus is on a mix of consistent skincare and, possibly, consultations with healthcare professionals for tailored treatments. For persistent acne, maintaining a proper skincare routine is crucial: use a gentle cleanser twice a day to avoid irritating the skin, and consider products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as these can help treat active acne lesions and prevent future breakouts. Pigmentation often stems from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne, which can be addressed with topical treatments. Ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin C, or chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid may be helpful. These can lighten dark spots over time and improve overall skin tone. However, protect your progress by applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as this will also prevent pigmentation from worsening. For excessive oiliness, especially around the nose, using oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers can help balance hydration without clogging pores. Clay masks once or twice a week may assist in absorbing excess oil. If the skin issues persist or worsen, consulting a dermatologist would be advisable as they can recommend prescription treatments such as retinoids or suggest procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy that target both acne and pigmentation. More invasive methods should only be considered under professional guidance. Balancing lifestyle factors like diet, hydration and stress can support skin health too; managing these may reduce flares. If you encounter severe symptoms like suddenly worsening acne or painful cysts, seek professional assessment promptly as this could indicate a more serious underlying condition or infection that needs targeted treatment.
