I dont see much improvements in my face rather acne continues to rise in unaffected areas. Also red patches are developed and im worried if they would ever disaapear. Can you please help me with this."
},
{
"from": "gpt",
"value": "Hi Sindhu, The red patches that you have developed seemed to have occured due to overzealous application of topical medicines. Do one thing stop the medication for a while and use a mild moisturiser like cetaphil moisturising lotion to soothe your skin. Once the red patches have disappeared, start with oral tab azithromycin 500mg or tab doxy 100 mg. Continue using zyclin in morning and use adaplene gel instead of retino a at night. keep your face clean with cetaphil cleanising lotion. This will surely work for you. Take Care."

Try to consult your dermatologist, looking at your skin condition your doctor will prescibe you the suitable treatment. Take care."

"value": "Hi there Sapna. At the outset, dermatology is a 'visual ' field. As such, one prefers to have some visual to go by. Is it possible for you to upload any clear photograph of face (preferably multiple views ) & upload it on this website using the 'upload data' feature to the right of ur screen? If you desire privacy, please use our premier 'ask-a-specialist/doctor' feature & ask for me by name. I cant say dermadew is a bad soap but if you have redness & acne, i personally would prefer a cleanser like Cetaphil (galderma company) now available in India. What pimple cream did the doctor give you? Are u going out in the sun/outside much? UV light at any time of day can aggravate your condition; do use an umbrella for the moment Visit a dermatologist nearest you for best results. Drink lots of water especially in the morning. It will help your condition clear. Wish you good health & a clear face. Best regds, Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Cosmetologist, Venreologist Vikram Hospital, Bangalore."

My GP has now put me on Cerazette , but I m really worried about what it will do to my skin- in the time I have been off the Yasmin I do seem to be getting the odd breakout of cystic acne on my chin , usually hard lumps under the skin which really hurt, the rest of my skin is fine though. What would you advise? I know everyone reacts differently, but if its a toss up between a dark mark on my upper lip or big lumps under my skin im not sure which is worse!

Had I been suffering from these diseases, I would have gone for the treatment of acne first, because malasma is a notorious disease which frequently relapses and takes long time for treatment. Acne, most of the times show early improvement and is more predictable. Another option is to use the medication which helps in both acne and melasma like retinoids, peeling agents, azaleic acid etc. Visit a dermatologist, so that he/she can decide which drug combination suits you the most.

Several months ago, I had a pimple and I treated it as normal, but when it came to a head and popped, it formed a red scaly rash around it and other pimples came up right near it and the same happened with them. I still thought it was acne and treated it as such. Later I went to the doctor and he said it wasa fungal infection and he gave me an antifungal cream. Ive been using that on and off for the past few months and I just realize that it isnt curing the problem, just helps clear up fungal infections that are showing, not killing all the fungal spores in the skin. I just want to know what to do to completely get rid of recurring infection, if indeed that is what I have. I cannot tell if a bump on my face is a real pimple or not until it pops and then either it will heal or the ring will form and become scaly and itchy around the spot where the pimple was.

This allows the blood to pool under the affected area, eventually causing the deep rolling scar to level off with the rest of the skin area.its done with the help of special needles inserted in the skin under topical or local anaesthesia.2. DERMAROLLER is used for treating Acne Scars, its an instrument with small sharp microneedles which act on acne scars.if your dermatologist does these procedures, he can do them for you.they cause transient redness for a day and then you can go back to work, you could get it done on the weekend. its an office procedure which takes around 30 minutes.3. pixel laser which will clear the scars in 4-6 sittings. done with the help of a laser machine.it will take a while but surely everything will clear up."

I hear you & it does seem you have an issue with an iatrogenic infection caused by overzealous use of the wife's cream :) On a serious note, you need to be seen by a physician & prescribed an appropriate antibiotics & anti-inflammatory agent that will depend on your body weight & will require a prescription! Do try to do a light steaming followed by splashing cold water on the region to help release the pus that seems locked in. This will help clear your sinuses' in addition. Swelling in the midline of the face needs to be taken care of soon as it was what used to be taught to us as students as being the 'dangerous area' of the face because of its proximity to the sinuses higher up & the chances of what we call a cavernous sinus thrombosis...hence the need for immediate intervention with an antibiotic.

Treatment prevents ugly scars and marks. Since you have small lesions you can treat it with creams and short course of antibiotics. Doxycycline 100 mg daily for a month. Benzoyl peroxide gel in the morning and tretinoin cream at night will be good. Also use salicyclic acid face wash. Do not pick on acne. Or they will leave marks or scars.

"value": "hello. thanks for posting your query. acne can be quite distressing. you need to follow a routine of cleansing, sunscreen , creams daily. cleanse your face with cetaphil cleansing lotion for acne prone skin thrice daily. sunscreen needs to be used daily , neutrogena would be a good choice. creams would be:- clindamycin gel on the active acne lesions in the morning and Retin A 0.025% cream at night on the entire face. Retin A needs to be applied only at night, start with coming it for 2 hours and then gradually increase the time interval to keep it overnight. this will help in treating acne and make your skin look better. please let me know if you have any queries."

"value": "Hello Welcome ! I would be pleased to help you with your question HOME BASED ROUTINE: 1. You can use the over the counter salicylic acid based face wash ( eg. Neutrogena Deep pore cleanser , Normaderm Vichy) . Use the face wash twice a day . 2. Use an alcohol free toner for the free outflow of the oil from the oil glands after using the face wash. ( e. Sebamed toner) 3. If you are using a sunscreen you should use a light water based SPF 15 sunscreen. 4. Do not use a moisturizer untill necessary as heavy moisturizer use can cause more acne on skin . Dermatological CLINIC Based Services: 1. Salicylic acid is a a form a peel treatment , a liquid which is applied over the skin by the doctor. This is kept on the skin for a period of 5 minutes and removed out with water. The peel seeps in the skin and controls the size of the oil glands giving rise to acne . It also has mild antibiotic properties. 2. The dermatologist might prescribe you certain oral or topical application antibiotics., The above regimen is ideal for controlling your acne . The Peel treatment is the best treatment which has an advantage of not only controlling your acne but will also improve your complexion ."

If not, you can take Doxy 100 mg twice daily for 10 days (check that you are not allergic to doxycyclin). Along with this start following vitamin therapy: Vitamins: Vitamin niacin 100 mg, three times a day, and Vitamin A - 50,000 IU, three times a day. Vitamin E - 400 mg once a day. This vitamin therapy should be continued for a month. Mineral: Zinc-50 mg three times a day. Continue for one month and then reduce to 25 mg three times. Garlic is called a wonder herb for acne. Rubbed raw garlic on acne several times a day (after sensitivity test that you are not allergic to garlic). Pimples disappear without scars."

It would be great if you consulted a dermatologist on the ground nearest you! Basically for the 'hole' type scars, you will require a procedure callled 'subscission' followed by 'dermabrasion'. For the 'ice-pick' scars, you will require 'excision'' followed by dermabrasion.

"value": "Hi, Welcome to HealthCareMagic, Following Life style changes will be helpful:- Take nutritious & balanced fibre rich diet, sleep for 8 hours daily and drink more than 8 glasses of water a day. Never pick or squeeze pimples. Acne treatment is focused on (1) to unclog pores, (2) to kill bacteria, and (3) to minimize oil. Wash your face twice daily with a mild cleansing soap or liquid. It will keep your skin clean and minimize sensitivity and irritation or cleanse twice daily with a 5% benzoyl peroxide wash. An alternative for those who are allergic to benzoyl peroxide is 2% salicylic acid. A variety of mild peeling agents (scrubs, exfoliants, and masks) can be used. These products remove the outer layer of the skin and thus open pores. Retinol (derivative of vitamin A) can help promote skin peeling. To get rid of oil on your face and reduce the embarrassing shine, use a gentle astringent/toner to wipe away oil. Masks containing sulfur and other ingredients draw out facial oil. Antibacterial pads containing benzoyl peroxide have the additional benefit of helping you wipe away oil. Apply a gel or cream containing 5% benzoyl peroxide; an alternative is sulfur or resorcinol. At night, apply a spot cream containing sulfur to the affected areas. Use a light skin moisturizer and water-based oil-free makeup. You may require a course of Antibiotics (erythromycin, clindamycin , sulfacetamide or azelaic acid). Retinoids ( Retin-A /adapalene/tazarotene) are especially helpful for unclogging pores. Epiduo gel contains the adapalene along with the antibacterial cleanser benzoyl peroxide and can be applied once daily. Some contraceptive pills have been to shown to have modest effectiveness in treating acne. Spironolactone act by blocking androgen (hormone) receptors. Cortisone injections make large pimples and cysts flatten out fast. Isotretinoin is an excellent treatment for severe, resistant acne. It should be used for people with severe acne, chiefly of the cystic variety, which has been unresponsive to conventional therapies like those listed above. Laser treatments of acne is best thought of as an adjunct to conventional therapy, rather than as a substitute. Superficial chemical peels (like glycolic acid) & deeper ones (performed in the doctor's office), are modest, and give supportive benefit only, and in general, they do not substitute for regular therapy. Don't be afraid to hide blemishes with flesh-tinted coverups or even foundation, as long at it is water based (which makes it noncomedogenic). Steaming and \"deep-cleaning\" of pores is useful. Strips are available, which you can put on your nose, forehead, chin, etc., to \"pull out\" oil from your pores. Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful. With good wishes, Dr.Chandra Shekhar Sharma"

"value": "Hi there Rashmi. Firstly you are newly married so relax..these things have a hormonal background to their pathology & as such there are bound to be fluctuations. Add to that stresss & change of environment & you have enough reasons for the potential flare-up. Second, are you on any oral contraceptives & have you done any pregnancy test & if negative, are you planing for a baby soon? Based on all this & viewing your lesions (please upload photographs), only then can a dermatologist give you a more honest picture & a concrete managment plan ...either local treatment or systemic but that again will vary on the cost factor, side effects, expectation & type/grade of acne. As for the acne pigmentation/marks, you may try to apply a 2% hydroquinone cream on the 'spots' for starters & then may upgrade to 4% & this of course is provided you dont have an allergy to these creams. But as i said at the outset, this has to be visualised & hence best to fix an appointment with a dermatologist nearest you. Cheers & Good luck!"

The treatment depends on many factors like staging of acne, frequent recurrences, family history, tolerance of medications, side effects of drugs etc. Your doctor must be right in deciding that you may have to stop dianne at this stage. antibiotics like tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, azithromycin, clindamycin can all be given with lesser side effects. Of course antibiotics will reduce only one causative factor for acne ie. bacterial colonization You felt better because dianne is an anti androgen and can stop oil secretion from sebaceous glands. so, the best thing to do is listen to your doctor's advice. It is difficult for me to tell you which is best as it depends on number of factors. I hope you understand my point Have a good day Prasad PVS"

This is usually tailored to suit individual needs..so please consult a dermatologist near your place or you may consult me privately if you so wish to through this portal. Firstly, one needs to evaluate your goal..if my understanding is correct, you desire clearance of both acne & the marks left behind. Second, you need to do a battery of tests assuming we will start you on systemic isotretinoin therapy as a 'definitve' treatment if one can call it this. Please check the details of the medication & the side-effects & precautions et al (as the blood tests required are tailored with these in mind) with your treating doctor. It may take anywhere from 3-6 months for a decent result & your treating doctor again will be best placed to discuss this with you. Cheers & all the best...am sure you will do well with this treatment. Regds. Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Cosmetologist & Venreologist, Bangalore, India"
