No.. specific medicine required depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

One month is too short a period for treatment of acne. If you want good results then treatment should be continued at least for 2 to 3 months or more depending on the severity. I need to see the type of lesions ,the grade of acne ,type of your skin to suggest any further treatment. Kindly send photographs for proper analysis else you can continue Doxol LB till you see your dermatologist thank you
