Acne can be treated with facewash, tablets and creams. If you are getting recurrent acne, we also need to find the underlying cause in patients of your age. Sometimes hormonal disturbances like pcod can manifest as acne. Also weight issue which we call metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance can manifest as acne. The marks and scars can be treated with a chemical peels and fractional carbon dioxide laser after the acne breakouts stop. Oilyness and pores also respond to peels and laser. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also very important. Please contact me with detailed history in private chat for proper consult or visit a dermatologist for the same.,
