dear doctor, i am 23, weight 52kgs and height 5'9. i used to be fair but i started getting acne when i turned 22. it has worsened since then and its not getting better. will betnovate help get rid of the acne? i have tried everything from cosmetics to home remedies but nothing seem to work
Don't use betnovate it will be harmful in long run.
It is better to go for a combined approach to get rid of acne completely. Please follow the following. 1. Use a combination of adapalene or other retinoid cream and clindamycin. This will take care of blockade as well as bacterial infection 2. Use a water based sunscreen with spf 30. 3. Use a drying face wash like tea tree oil. 4. Its best to keep face covered by cloth whenever possible to protect from dirt. 5. Don’t rupture or try to remove scabs from infected acne, This will lead to pigmentation and scar formation.
Don’t apply steroid creams, they give immediate relief but later cause damage. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Thank you.
