Hello dear See at your age acne usually appear due to hormonal alterations or physiological variation. Iam suggesting some medication and precautions Please follow them for atleast 1 month 1. Topical Treatments -Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5–5%) twice a day for week Salicylic Acid, Adapalene 0.1% can also be given as additive medications. 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 max 5 days Niacinamide serum –antiinflammatory in nature twice daily for 1 week 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
Hello Sana By going through your history and evaluation of your health status I must say that - For Acne- Adapalene gel (0.1% at night, very thin layer) OR benzoyl peroxide gel (2.5–5%). Use only on acne spots
Do NOT pick/squeeze pimples – this worsens pigmentation.
#For Pigmentation/Marks
Niacinamide 5% serum (morning or night, if skin is not irritated). Consistency is key pigmentation takes 2–3 months to lighten.
Lifestyle modification -
Avoid excess dairy, junk, sugary foods. Drink enough water, get 7–8 hrs sleep.
If acne is not receding please consult a dermatologist in person
I trust this helps Thank you
