How Can Severe Facial Acne Be Treated?

HI, I am 33-year-old male and suffer from facial acne. Does not matter what I try, the only (unfortunately temporary) solution is the antibiotics. As soon as I finish several days treatment with antibiotics, the acne inflammation comes back. I was thinking to now check my tonsils. Even though I do not have any problems with tonsils (at least visually, or sensory), can acne and tonsils be related??

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe facial acne which occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Tonsils is due to upper respiratory tract infection. These two symptoms are not much related. I would suggest you to wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. drink 5-6 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Clindamycin gel and Benzoyl peroxide containing gel over the acne. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
