Hello doctor,I am currently having acne on my cheeks. I am currently applying Benzoyl peroxide gel on my acne. It only reduces the inflammation but bumps are not reducing. I also have pigmentation caused by acne before. I only get acne on my cheeks. What may be the reason? I usually get cyst acne bumps on my cheeks. If acne clears, then it comes again. I have red pigmentation caused by acne. Can you recommend a product for acne and after acne has cleared, can you suggest a product for pigmentation? Can you recommend a product for controlling further breakouts? Also, I wanted to know which sunscreen and moisturizer to use?
Hi. Acne reduces in severity with aging. Use cleanser like Cetaphil to wash face. Apply Retino-A (Retinol) cream in the night, Clindamycin gel in the morning. Treat dandruff if any with Ketoconazole shampoos like Scalpe or Nizral lotion. You can use sunscreens like Shade (Avobenzone, Oxybenzone) lotion. Retino-A helps in pigmentation and to some extent scars. You can consider lasers later if scars persist. For more information consult a dermatologist online -->
