Dry skin yet acne
I have a dry skin that is prone to eczema if washed excessively or scrubed.
But nowadays I am getting acne(7-8) too though I never really had more than 3 pimples at a time.
What can be the reason?
Secondly using acne medication dried out my skin hence now I have to deal with eczema too.
Please help.

Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. Doing parlour procedure or scrubbing can cause acne. 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 call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
