"value": "I am a 65-year-old female, very good health. My back and front are covered with pinhead pimples , which resembles pityrosporum folliculitis except that it is not itchy at all. It started after being 4 days on Secnidal an antibiotic for a mild case of entamoeba histolytica . When that was gone, I was left with moderate blastocystis that I live with on and off for the last two years. I stopped trying to get rid of the blasto with antibiotics because they always return, and I cannot live on antibiotics. Instead, I occasionally take S. Boulardii, a yeast , to keep the blasto in check. I started to take them two months before the pimples came out. I felt that there might be a connection with the pimples so I stopped taking them for 10 days, but there is no reduction of pimples. I also have blisters on my scalp, but that started six months ago before I took the yeast pills; I already had blastocystis for 2 years."

Visiting a dermatologist will allow proper evaluation of skin condition and prescription medicine.These will help in long term relief. Till the time you can use glintra gel.Also you can use cetaphil oily skin cleanser. On weeks after stopping the drug the eruption will subside. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Any creams containing tretinoin, hydroquinone, glycolic acid, azelaic acid, kojic acid would be good for you. But if you are still getting pimples, then you should treat them also so as to prevent any future marks. Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen as long as there is daylight outside. Happy new year Ha"

Wash with a soap (e.g Acne Aid bar) twice daily 2. Apply a combination of Tretinoin plus benzoyl peroxide cream/ gel at night for 1 month. 3. you could take A doxycycline 100 mg daily after meal for 1 month. You need to consult us 1 month later, with regards."

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi,Aloe vera has moisturising , anti inflammatory and wound healing properties. So as such it can be used to soothe the skin when having active acne lesions. However it won't work on acne pigmentation. To cure pimple marks creams containing Kojic acid, Azelaic acid, Glycolic acid, tretinoin, steroids, hydroquinone,liquorice, arbutin etc can be used. Similarly one can take sessions of chemical peels or microdermabrasion to reduce pimple marks. If the marks are too light they can be left as such without treatment as they will disappear on their own after some time. I would advise you to consult a dermatologist as depending on the type of post acne pigmentation treatment can be suggested. Take care."

But as you know even when you feel condom was used correctly occasionally there can be failure resulting in pregnancy. So if you want to be 100% sure, then you need to do paternity test. I hope this helps. If you have further concerns, I will be happy to answer."

It started on my forehead , with lots of itching, and within a week was all over my face and neck. What happened? And why hasn t the follilculitis gone away yet?!"

You can use the following though treatment is not always required- 1. Capsule- Tetracycline 500mg (or doxycycline 100 mg / minocycline 100mg ) twice daily for 1-2 months orally. 2. Tretinoin cream or gel/ Adapelen cream or gel- you could apply twice daily on trunk and extremity and once at night on face for 1-2 months 3. Follow up needed after end of 1-2 months. With regards."

},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "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."

"value": "Hi, As far as acne is concerned, taking oral azithromycin would help. If the lesions are less in number, it can also be managed with topical medicines like adapalene or clindamycin gel. Use a salicylic acid based face wash and a water based moisturiser to keep skin well hydrated. As far as diet and acne is concerned, the association is debatable. Dairy products and food with high glycemic index seem to have some link with acne. However if you feel that you develop acne after having eggs or chicken, you might be allergic to them. So try stopping them for few days. Take care."

Instead of using supatret c for an hour only apply it over areas of involvement overnight. However use very small amounts and do not rub as it can lead to irritation of skin. Also if one is not having much response, you can start with oral isotretinoin 20 mg for 10 to 15 days. To prevent further recurrences it is always better to get your comedones extracted manually or by radiofrequency. Once your skin is clear, use a mild face and a water based moisturiser to keep skin healthy and acne free. Take care."

Also get all your comedones (black heads and white heads) extracted regularly and avoid facials. Consult a dermatologist to advise you a treatment plan best suited to your skin. For acne multiple treatment options are available like antibiotics, isotretinoin, topical anti acne gels and creams. Also one can take Glycolic acid or salicylic acid peels. Similarly for scars, one can go with microdermabrasion, micro needling or lasers once the active acne lesions have healed. Once your skin has been assessed, then only according to severity of acne, treatment can be advised. Take care."

Then, I applied an OTC topical acne cream to it. About 2 hours later my forehead skin felt tight so I looked in the mirror and literally my entire forehead is swollen--swelling stops at all hair lines; scalp, eyebrows etc. I believe it is called pitting edema because if I apply pressure the dent remains. The swelling is of normal skin color, not red (other than the location of the pimple). Does this require a visit to the ER? Will warm compression help? If it does require a visit to the doctor, is it urgent or wait a day or 2?"

All my life since a teen I ve been getting this terrible acne on my face everywhere... now this acne is viscous usually start off as bumps under the surface and as they progress they get harder and more painful until the white head comes to the surface until it pops on its own or i pop it usually secreting this yellowish whiteish substance like string cheese mixed with a little blood, usually popping the substance isnt enough and the bump stays and hyper pigmentates leaving dark spots all over my face. sometimes these bumps cluster, sometimes they re random. Problem areas being jaw line, right under eyes, creases of nose, cheek and seldomly forehead . I don t have much facial hair , (just small mustache and chin beard) none on my jaw really. I take vitamins , i use noncomogenic scrubs and washes daily, also using pure honey as a mask afterwards multiple times a week. I ve tried tons of products to get rid of the ance, sometimes it seems something is working and after a little time passes it seems like the patch of severity moves. last winter-spring most of the acne was under my eyes on my cheeks not really on my jaw, now its mostly on my jawline. I dont really get this acne anywhere else on my body. I quit smoking a month ago from being a pack a day smoker, cold turkey. Since then I ve also changed my diet to more pastas and veggies, although every now and then i have a soda. I drink about a gallon a day in water due to my sport activities. i can send pictures. Im just trying to see if theres an over the counter remedy for this type of acne. If not what type do you think it is so i can see a dermatologist.

As you can see, its basically a multiple combination cream containing antibacterial, antifungal and steroid to control inflammation. These multiple combination creams have very few specific indications but are misused very commonly as over the counter treatment for fungal, bacterial infections, acne and pigmentation. These creams would harm more than benefitting in any of the conditions mentioned above. These should never be used to clear pigmentation or acne over the face. Take care. Regards, Dr Kalpana."

Use a water based moisturiser and sunscreen meant for oily skin. As you are having acne flare, you need to take a course of oral antibiotic and/or isotretinoin depending on the type of acne lesions you are having. Amongst the topicals one can use clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, nadoxin along with adapalene or tretinoin. So basically a proper analysis of your skin is required, before suggesting which oral and topical therapy would suit you best. As your skin is extremely oily and you are getting pigmentation marks, you can also take salicylic peels as it will reduce oiliness over your face, treat acne flare and reduce pigmentation spot.

On my left cheek I have many small red pimples under the skin, and on my chin I am constantly breaking out in big painful red spots one after another. I used a medibac dermalogica face wash for 2 months which did nothing. I have changed my foundation to Clinique anti-blemish and been using the anti-blemish 3 step for 3 weeks. I have also been using Tetralysal (lymecycline) for about a month. I have seen no signs of improvement. I was wondering whether I can take the antibiotics along with dianette for double help? Or if I should try a stronger antibiotic? Please help : ("

"value": "Thanks for posting your query. dianette is given in case you have acne due to hormonal imbalance in case of Pcos etc. The acne is usually distributed along the jaw line and is quite severe. There are other signs likehirsutism which indicate hormonal imbalance. I recommend you use a salicylic acid face wash twice a day. Application of benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel in the morning on the pimples and RetinA cream all over the face at night. Also you can change your antibiotic to azithromycin 500 mg once every morning for 3 days every week. This should help your acne. Regards"

Secondly,generally as i can see in practice that acne get worse in the first few months of pregnancy but as the pregnacy proceeds it get better may be due to hormonal changes. Now if your cream has got Clindamycin then i would say you can apply. but i would also recommend the following 1:Benzoyl or Azelaic acid creams preferebly 2:DO NOT apply any creams that contains retenoids or salicylic acids. Thanks very much and all the best."

As even with Sali peels you might require a course of antibiotics or topical application of anti acne creams. Sali peels will not only help in reducing acne, pigmentation but will also reduce oiliness. Do not be confused and stick to your doctor's conviction. However as far as comedones control serum or blemish control formula is concerned check the medicine it contains and whether it is useful in acne. Take care."

It all depends upon the grade of your acne,the doctor who is treating you and the response to your medication.

It can also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight so liberal use of a sunblock of Minimum SPF 30 is advisable throughout the day. As far a scars are concerned then please see your dermatologist and discuss the options of Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling to lighten the scars,they are very effective.

Once the pimples have subsided, you can take treatment specially meant to reduce pigmentation over your face. For pimples, use a good anti acne face wash and consult a dermatologist for prescribing you with anti acne medicines for oral and local use. If you have a sensitive skin, the doctor will obviously advise mild preparations so that it does not irritate and darken your skin. you can also use a good sunscreen and take oral supplements of vitamin c to prevent further darkening of your skin. Once the acne has subsided, your doctor might advise creams meant to improve pigmention and complexion. you can also think of taking microdermabrasion sessions or peels. The advantages of peels are that they not only tackle pigmentation issues but also helps in acne.As far as melaglow is concerned, there is nothing wrong in using it. It will not help in acne but might help in pigmentation. Take care."

Peels as such have wonderful effect in acne and if combined with medication, the effects are better and more long lasting. Salicylic acid and Glycolic peels can be considered for the purpose.

"value": "Hi, acne treatment depends upon its severity whether it is mild, moderate or severe in nature. In other words, it has to be seen what kind of lesions one is having predominantly that is whether you are having more of comedones or papules or pustules or severe nodules cysts and abscesses. The treatment plan changes accordingly. The chances of scarring and pigmentation are more with pustular nodular acne or with cysts and abscesses. In your case, you can continue with tab azithromycin as prescribed, along with topical application of benzoyl peroxide 2.5% in morning and adapalene gel in night. Use a salicylic acid based face cleanser. Follow this schedule for 3 weeks, if you dont have much of response, then one can think of adding isotretinoin or doing chemical peels(glycolic acid or salicylic peels). For the same, you need to consult a dermatologist. Take care."

"value": "Hi , Thanks for writing in. Pigmentation is treatable now.With correct treatment all your 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. For dark spots you can apply GLYCO A 12 cream over the face . With all these medications sun protection is very important.You should use good quality sunscreen like photoban acqua gel.Apply it every 3-4 hourly starting 9 AM in morning.Regular sunscreen use will lighten the spots early. Cryotherapy and chemical peeling can give you fast and long lasting results.They are available at dermatology clinics. Discuss the option of peeling with your dermatologist.It will have rapid effect. Will reduce the oil secretion and pimples effectively. Hope this helps. Regards. dr Sudarshan. MD dermatology."

Can you pls suggest me how to overcome of these Acne problem ASAP. Thanks in Advance! Regards,"

"value": "Dear Rajeev, The prescription seems fine to me. Please clarify, if you really had NO response with the treatment being prescribed and if you took the medicines regularly. Two months is an optimum time to have good response. i would advise to continue with Isoin 20 and azicip 5oo. Topically apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5% in morning and adapalene gel in night. Use Cetaphil cleansing lotion to wash your face. Continue the same for 15 days. If this doesnot yield desired response either the dose of isoin can be increased or one can think of giving you salicylic acid peels. That would Surely take care of your problem. Take care"

"value": "Hi, for your acne problem instead of using excessively publised over the counter products; use products that are specifically meant to treat acne. Firstly get your blackheads and whiteheads extracted by a dermatologist. Start a good oral antibiotic like azithromycin 500mg along with oral isotretinoin 10mg or 20 mg depending on severity of acne. Use clindamycin and adapalene gel topically and a good mild face wash. That will make your skin pimple free. Consult your dermatologist for further queries"

It is powerful / but also has side effects / should be taken under medical supervision (Dermatologist) / need follow up / gives excellent improvement.

You are bound to get acne flare up once you stop the treatment. 1 month time is too short for complete cure of acne.Other thing you should maintain a good skin care regimen daily without fail. Use sunscreen before going out of home. Take care."
