Hello doctor,I am 24 years old and I have a combination skin type. I have minimal breakouts basically during my periods but these pimples leave a lot of marks. Please suggest me a tablet or a treatment on how to remove these marks. Also, I do not want to take any medicines containing steroids or apply any cream having steroids. Please help. Also, please tell me what to do to make my skin better? Not only my faces but also my body.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I have gone through your case. First, you need to understand acne is common and you may experience frequent exacerbation due to stress or periods as you already told. Moreover, steroids should never be used in acne skin. In fact, this aggravates acne. Please apply Clindamycin gel two times a day on pimples. Apply Vitamin C serum on dark lesion for three months twice daily. Use Cetaphil cleanser.
