Suggest Treatment For Acne And Pimples On Face

I am 46 years old, 10 months post-pardom. I have never, ever had acne. I got a tubal ligation during my c-section back in December 2010. For the past couple of months, I keep getting acne break-outs, pretty large pimples on face/cheek area, which may last a week or more. Once it clears up, then another one pops up. My skin has always been normal/dry and flawless. NO BLEMISHES at all. I am an African-American female. Please help!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query acne and pimples occur when there is hormonal changes, clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria and stress. I would suggest you to make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. You can take erytop gel as well. Take Multivitamin supplements. 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 and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid. You can go for laser therapy as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
