Suggest Remedy For Acne

Hi I have suffered with acne from the age of 13 until now and I am 48. I have been on a variety of antibiotics and have had roacutanne twice. I am still suffering with it but predominately on my arms. I am depressed and fed up with it. I took Dianette some time ago and it worked really well. I would like to go back on it but I think I have started the menopause. Can I take it at the same time? Claire

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face which occur when there is hormonal changes, systemic disturbances, stress and due to menopausal defects. I would suggest you to apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Also wash area with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. Avoid oily and fried food and make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
