Should I Take Strong Medicine For Acne Treatment?
Should i take strong medicine for my acne treatment?
Hi my name is Amber and i live in America, i m an Asian i recently went to a dermatologist here for my acne .. i don't have swear acne but one can actually see it.. specially when i'm without makeup! The doctor recommended me Adoxa for three months along with two different creams one is differn and one other similar to that..
my question is…. Do u think …Should I take such A strong medicine ? i've have taken Accutane for good 5 moths a year back and it cleared my skin n complexion like anything but now again i'm facing acne and My complexion is dull n gray again!
Also does Adoxa improves complexion like Acctane did for me?
Thanks

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are taking Accutane for acne treatment which is very good for acne treatment. Acne occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide. Wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week.Apply clindamycin gel to regain face glow along with kojivit cream. Apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
