I am 27 years old. I am having acne problem from 10 years. I am having acne both in face as well as whole back. It has left dark spots, I have visited several times to a dermatologist but when I leave treatment then again it appears. Now also I am taking azithral, cymino-100 and a multivitamin and have undergone laser treatment three shifts on 15 days duration.still dont find much effective. what should I do?
Hi, Firstly for your acne problem, I would advise you to take a prolonged course of oral isotretinoin along with topical anti acne creams as it will not only cure active lesions but also prevent further recurrences. You might require six month course of isotretinoin to induce permanent remission. Scars and marks will reduce to some extent with oral isotretinoin too. Later on sessions of peels and lasers can be taken to reduce pigmentation and scarring. However, it is suggested that one should avoid these procedures when on isotretinoin and for better results there should be a gap of 3 to 6 months between these sessions and isotretinoin therapy. Do not worry, acne can be managed easily with a proper treatment compliance under an expert dermatologist. Take care.
