Suggest Treatment For Pimples And Blackheads

treatment for pimples and blackheads
i am 18yrs of age. i have got pimples all over my face. especially cheeks and next-to-nose area. i have used plenty of creams and other such items but the pimples keep going and coming continuously. my family doctor says its because of age factor and hormonal changes. (i wonder why not a single classmate of mine goes through this hormonal changes process) . i am a patient of constipation but it has reduced to negligible limits. but still the pimples appear regularly. please help me by giving suitable advice and treatments for blackheads as well. thanks.

Hi,

You said that you suffer from acne and now the lesions are bigger and inflammed.I can understand your concern for acne. You may be knowing that acne is a recurring disease. So, have treatment for long time with patience.

Acne may be precipitated or exacerbated by many factors. There may be genetic influence.

You have to reduce anxiety related to acne. Have positive attitude.

Few episodes of acne lesions may be there even during treatment. You may continue treatment for few months.

I would like to suggest following line of treatment...

- antibiotics like minocycline or azithromycine in proper dose
- isotretinoin in low dose
- zinc sulfate tab
- vitamin C
- clindamycine,adapalene or benzoyl peroxide gel..apply on lesions at night
- cleansing the face with antiseptic facewash

Avoid all factors that might exacerbate acne.

Have patience for the good result.

Thanks.
