Doctors’ responses
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
Your acne is much better than before, but mild breakouts, pigmentation, and oiliness are persisting. With regular use of a salicylic face wash, niacinamide in the morning, adapalene/benzoyl peroxide at night, plus sunscreen and a light moisturizer, your skin should gradually clear in 2–3 months. If marks or acne remain stubborn, dermatological treatments like chemical peels or microneedling can help
Follow this Morning
Gentle foaming cleanser (salicylic acid or tea tree based, 1–2%) controls oil.
Niacinamide serum (5%) reduces oil, improves pores, fades marks.
Light oil-free moisturizer (gel-based, non-comedogenic).
Sunscreen SPF 30+ (matte, gel-based) crucial for fading pigmentation.
Evening
Cleanser (same as morning).
Adapalene 0.1% gel (retinoid, pea-sized at night, 3–4x per week) prevents new pimples + fades pigmentation.
If skin is sensitive, start only 2 nights a week and increase slowly.
Moisturizer (to balance dryness from retinoid).
Lifestyle Support
Avoid frequent touching/squeezing pimples (causes more pigmentation).
Diet: Reduce high sugar/junk foods, increase protein + green vegetables + zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, lentils).
Stay hydrated.
Manage stress (yoga, meditation, exercise)
