Sever acne over forehead, cheeks, chin
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from acne since past 3 years.
I did not suffer from any skin problems during teenage, but from past 3 years, i have acne issues. Initially there were 3-4 acne but now a days, i have acne bumps, pustules and whiteheads all over the face. My dermatologist has given me oil control gels and water based moisturizers. But has not recommended to use cleansers. But without cleansers, i am still getting breakouts.
Please suggest a cleanser for sensitive dry acne prone skin

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 call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,
