I m 25 years old, I was suffering from chronic stubborn acne, it wasn t very severe, but it was not sensitive to many medications (like fusidic acid , clidamycin, erythromycin creams), and it bothered me so much, so I started using Retinoic acid (40 mg/day for 3 months). my face became very clear ,no acne, no scares. Since a month, sudden acne breakout has been occurred, my forehead is full now of acne, the acne still very stubborn and isn t responsive to any treatment, the pimples are so deep inside the skin as an abscess , I m so upset now and feel like I don t have any hope to come over acne forever, what can I do????
Hi, Retinoids must be used in consultation with a doctor and with regular monitoring of your Lots and lipid profile, and these medicines are to be taken for a predefined duration. There is a fixed dose schedule which is necessary to reduce the chances of recurrences of acne. The best thing at this stage that you must do is to visit a dermatologist with a strong determination that you are going to take full treatment and with full compliance without missing the follow-ups.
