Suggest Treatment For Acne Problem
hello doc, I am 21 years old female. I am suffering from acne for many years now. I consulted a docter and she asked me to use azifast gel in the morning and deriva gel in the night . she also gave lyser D and zady 250 tablets. i never understood the cause of my pimples. my menstural cycles are regular. Sometimes i get pimples after workout and sometimes even without eating any oily food i get pimples. please do help me out. pimples are on my cheeks. once i get rid of pimples on one cheek they reapper on other cheek. Even without pricking the pimples they do leave dark black spots. I even drink lot of water. please do tell me if the above mentioned medication help? do i need to do anything more?

Hi
you seem to be under medical guidance and have mentioned your treatment which seems to be appropriate . However if you are continuing to develop new lesions i may suggest certain other measures.You are having pustular acne and will require prolonged therapy . You can take Minocycline 100 mg daily for 6 weeks in place of zady 250. In addition use a salicylic acid 1% facewash ( Saslic face wash) You can apply a combination of a retnoid and clindamycin topicaly at night( DERIVA CMS gel). In addition shampoo your hair daily and avoid oil application to the scalp. You can also take zinc( Tab asczin ) twice daily after meals as it will help in long term maintenance after withdrawing minocycline
