What Should I Do To Control Acne And Reduce Acne Scars?
Hi , I have been taking alopathy treatment for acne and acne scars since few months but it is not so helpful as i'm continue getting 2-4 new pimples after every 1-2 days. My doctor suggested me to use Clinmiskin for pimples in day time and Glycovera cream for acne scar every night. I'm also taking treatment for PCOD from other Doctor and taking Hyponidd Tablets 2 morning and 2 night. What should i do to control acne and reduce acne scars??

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne scars on face which occurs whens skin pores becomes clogged and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You are already taking so much medicine but not getting much benefited. i would suggest you to exfoliate your face once a week and apply aloe vera gel. You should apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day, which is very effective for scars and pimples . Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course as you are not getting benefited with laser therapy or dermabrassion. Cover skin with cloth when exposure to sun.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
