Is Azipar,galaxy And Deriva Right Medication For Acne?
I am 27 yrs old, female, married and suffering from Acne(Moderate to Severe) since last 13 yrs. During my teens, several dermatologists told that it will go away in my 20s. Now, i have been consulting various dermatologists but in vain. I have been prescribed Azipar 500, Galoxy along with application of Niltan cream during the day and Deriva CMS gel at night. Will this cure me of my problem?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have noticed acne since last 13 years which occur because skin pores becomes clogged and skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and it leads to post inflammation hyper-pigmentation. Medication azipar,galaxy and deriva is right choice of medication and you should continue it for short term basis. I would suggest you to wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salycylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelac acid which is good for acne as well as marks. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe laser therapy an chemical peeling.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
