What Is The Treatment To Get Rid Of Acne?

I am 66 with very fair sensitive skin. I have been battling facial acne for several years and have tried several remedies but my face never ever has really completely cleared up. What can I do to clear my skin and be free of the readiness and multiple chronic breakouts? Thank you for your help.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have extreme fair skin and you have acne on face which could be due to blockage of pores of skin with dead bacteria and dust. I would suggest you to start applying mashed potatoes on your skin and keep it for 10-15 mins . You should give daily application of Glycolic acid 6 percent and retino a cream over your scars as it will lighten scars. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on scars. Take diet rich in vitamin E. Drink plenty of water. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-peeling and dermabrasion. You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. Don't use ant cosmetics and hard substances on face. You should exfoliate your face once a week and apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
