Suggest Treatment For Acne

I have had severe acne for the past 8 months. Im at my wits end and do not know what to do. Have you ever heard of anyone using bleach to help clear a breakout? Ive heard it from a few i know as a doctor you will advise against it but have you ever heard of anyone doing it? I dipped 3 cotton balls into some bleach and cleaned my face with it. Everytime I did it the cotton ball came back dirty.......does that mean my face was really dirty? I washed it a few hours before i did it. My face just got really itchy so i broke down and used the bleach. Please help me.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face and you used bleach for that which is not at all a right way of clearing your skin as bleach can cause itching and burning of skin due to presence of increased levels of chemicals in it. I would suggest you to make use of kojivit plus cream as it will lighten your skin and use product containing benzoyl peroxide. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. 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
