Start using a body wash or bath soap like Dermadew Acne or Navosal soap. Apply benzoyl peroxide 4% on back once at night or use Salyzap spray 2times on back. For the face, use a salicylic face wash twice & benzoyl peroxide adapalene combination gel on the face at night. Also take Ascazin tabs 2 times daily for a month.

Do regular follow up with a skin specialist.

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.
