Stop melalite xl. The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

Acne is sometimes resistant to even the best medication provided. Ideally to permanently get rid of the acne you may need to attack the root problem that is the hyperactive sebaceous glands causing this condition. I would suggest you go for a radiofrequency based microneedling procedure that replaces these over active glands with healthy functioning ones
