Suggest Treatment For Red And Bumpy Acne On Cheek

Hello, I am 26 and about month and half ago a big red and bumpy acne appeared on my cheek. I used Benzoyl Peroxide for few days and it reduced the swalloness and redness a lot. I went to doctor and she prescribed clindamycin Phosphate Gel. After using it twice a day for few days no change has occurred. It doesn t look like to be an acne (nothing discharges off of it). Also, my beard started falling as soon as the acne appeared and it is falling a little bit more every day. What do you think the reason or treatment options are? Sam Thank you very much!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red and bumpy acne on cheek which is because hormonal change at particular age and it could be due to stress and allergic reaction. I would suggest you to start with a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. Apply creams rich in kojic acid. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face. Use sun screen cream rich in spf 30 such as TAN CARE. Use medicated soap such as metarub to wash face daily. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once. Dermabrasion, Fractional CO 2 Laser, Chemical peeling, Miocroabrasion are all recent methods of skin clearing.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
