Stubborn whiteheads
Hi, I am 25 year old and have got too much of whiteheads on face, especially the nose area.
I have got my Thyroid test done also, I don't have thyroid.
I have been using Retinol-A from one month, face gets dried but not much luck with it. Can someone advice and help me with it?
P.S - I have this problem right from my teenage and I have acne prone skin

Some people have more oily skin which can be due to genetic reasons. You may also be getting blackheads due to this. This can be treated with creams and facewash. Please call me or send me photos through online consult option for proper examination and advice on treatment.
