Question : My wife is having these small pimples from 3 weeks. Very rarely she also has itching. At times she realises that it has reduced a bit, but again it increases. Can you please suggest a remedy.

Brief Answer:
adapalene and clindamycin

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is acne. It happens due to blockage of sebaceous glands.
I treat such cases with adapalene gel in night and clindamycin gel in morning.
This combined approach gives excellent response within 15 days.
She can try this.
Let me know If you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
