What To Do For Pimples On The Face?

Hi Doctor, I am 23 years old guy. I had a lot of pimples of my face and I meet dermatologist he suggested me to use dermadew soap, Nadibact cream twice daily and one tretiva 10m capsule at night. However, pimples started increasing after 2 days of usage, then started to decrease and my face was cleared. Again, from past few days pimples have come back. can you please advise on this.

Hi,

You said you have acne vulgaris. It is a multifactorial disease. Stress,anxiety,sun exposure,oily food,exercise,drugs like steroids..etc might precipitate or exacerbate the disease. Your doctor have given right treatment. You may add antibiotic like minocycline 50 mg cao in the morning along with isotretinoin 10 mg cap at night. Clindamycine with adapalene gel may be applied at night. Cleanse the face with cetaphil lotion. Avoid anxiety and stress. Avoid oily food. If you have dandruff, do shampoo of ketoconazole. You may become alright after few months of treatment. Continue treatment for more than 6 months even after clearance of acne lesions. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
