Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Acne, Red Spots And White Heads

Hi, this summer has been different than any other for my skin. I ve struggled with adult acne, but can usually keep it under control with good diet and topical attention. But the last couple of months, when I spend any sort of time in the sun, two days later, my face is COVERED in white heads and red spots. I used spf moisturizer and sun screen, but this has still happened. I am at a loss. I don t know what to do.

Hi,

Well, many a times exposure to Sun can cause sweating that can lead to damage to skin surface that can increase the growth of Pimple causing bacteria that can lead to inflammation and pimples. You should consult a Dermatologist and get yourself checked. You can apply gel containing Benzoyl peroxide. Apply Salicylic acid containing face wash. Apply Clindamycin containing gel. Do cool compresses over the skin. Wash your face frequently with cold water.

When you go out, along with application of Sunscreen lotion you should also try to cover your face with a scarf. Along with it your should also drink plenty of water. Take more of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, avoid oily foods. Avoid oil based sunscreen lotion.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora, Dentist
