Acne vulgaris
Hi I got this horrible flare up on my face. I've been having acne since 7th grade And I can't help myself from picking at them. Also I have lots of old scars and severe back acne as well which I believe is cause since I have psoriasis dermatitis. I don't use any sort of makeup. I meet a derm who gave me prednisolon, tetralysal, epiduo + cetaphil. Though it got a bit subdued now it's come back and become even more worse and I've used this treatment for 20 days.

Greetings. Acne is a problem that can recur and needs to be tackled from time to time along worth usage of maintenance creams . Here's what you can do : 1. See a qualified dermatologist 2. You'll need topical retinoid creams / bpo based creams. 3. Depending on severity a course of oral anti biotic medication would be helpful. 4. If you have scars - post acne scat treatment with lasers or Microneeedling rf or Microneeedling alone is advisable. Hope this helps. govindmittalatgmail.com
