Hello doctor, I am having acne problem and i have consulted a dermatologist. He prescribed Clindamycin phosphate gel+HHSONE. I used it for a month. It gave me a very good result. Now I stopped using that. it caused small pimples which became very dark. Now i have consulted another dermatologist who prescribed FACELIN. but i didnt feel any improvement. Please give me a solution to reduce the darkness of acne marks in a short time.

Hi,

As per your query you have acne and dark marks on face and you taking medications which are not benefiting you is because your condition is recurrent and sebaceous gland under the hair follicle getting infected with bacteria and dead skin.

I would suggest you to avoid exposure to sunlight. You should wash your face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil,dust and bacteria on your face. Avoid greasy creams, use water based products. Don't pick or touch acne. Apply Kojic Acid cream on face. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination and start treatment accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
