Acne, Scars
I have a severe acne from many years. I used lot of creams, onintments but nothing worked on me. For the last 1 year I have used Clindamycin phosphate gel. Tablets Azithromycin tablets 250mg & Isotretinoin capsules 20mg which a doctor suggested me. But I got married in last Dec & planning for pregnancy now & the doctor suggested me not to use these tablets & Iam not using it. Azithromycin I used to take mon,Tues,we'd & Isotretinoin I used to take everyday & my acne used to be gone. I used to take only for 1 week. After 1 month my acne used to show off. Can you suggest me any tablets or ointment which reduces my acne.

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.,
