Hi
Thanks for your query
You seem to have developed
cystic acne.
Before coming to the exact treatment, I would like you to follow certain precautions:
1. Avoid using any oily creams or lotions over face as much as possible. You can however use oil free moisturisers .
2. Wash your face frequently inorder to keep it dry.
3. Drink plenty of water .
4. Try to avoid eating dry fruits .
5.Avoid touching or squeezing of pimples .
6. Avoid Hair oil .
7. Always use a sunscreen (SPF> 26) when going out in the sun.
Now as far as your condition is concerned, I would advise you might need to apply some antiacne medications like
Clindamycin gel over the affected area in the morning along with
benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel at night.
You might need a systemic agent also to control acne ,so if the above medicines dont help you much, then see a
dermatologist for the same.
For acne cysts also , there are various treatment options available like intralesional steroids,
cryotherapy etc which your dermatologist can decide upon.
Hope it helps
