Q) Iam 23 years old female. Iam suffering from severe acne past five years. Can you suggest me the treatment.
A) I would first of all strongly say acne is a non serious condition and not likely to cause any serious problem. You should feel confident that it is a treatable condition. You should never think extreme such as suicide or self harm.
Acne are caused by hormonal disturbance mainly and usually seen during teen age and may be in latter life. Some time acne may be a sign of underlying disorder. It is recommended that a proper check up is done by a physician/gynecologist. If nothing serious underlying than need not worry.
What work in acne is cleanliness, avoiding oily ointments, avoiding too much handling of acne that it touching, squeezing etc. you should apply your medicines regularly and if your physician recommend, than you may need to take oral medicine.
When the acne are full of pus and secondarily infected with fungi and or other pathogens, you may apply skin cream like quadriderm ointment which is anti inflammatory, anti fungal etc, a combination of four molecule.
Most of the time the acne marks are temporary and heal on itself, if persist we may go for LASER treatment latter on. At all levels acne can be controlled, consult your physician and follow him, there is no need for extreme fear.
