Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Acne is caused by hormonal imbalance. Hormonal work up may be necessary.
Blockage of sebaceous glands causes papules and pustules.White substance is secretion of sebaceous glands.

Acne is treatable now.With correct treatment all your pimples ,
scars and dark spots can be treated.

To start with you have to apply Brevoxyl cream twice daily .
Also you can use anti acne face wash like Brevoxyl face wash.

Avoid any hair oil to hairs.Avoid any other moisturizers or cosmetics.
Use good quality sunscreen like SUNCOTE gel daily while going out.

Discuss the option of Isotretinoin with your dermatologist.It will have rapid effect.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks For approaching.

Pls share your sex,as if you are female,it may be related to your menstrual cycle.Otherwise Can have Saafi 2 tsf with luke warm water before bed daily.Apply Neem chaal(bark paste) locally on the face.Dashaang lep if applied on face gives good results in acne.Avoid spicy,fried and junk food. Drink atleast 12 glasses of water daily.

Take care.
