Hello, I m a 16 year old male and I ve got a severe case of acne vulgaris . It s all over my chest, back, and the nape of my neck, and it hurts! It s super itchy and I can t help but scratch them, tearing the scabs off in the process. They re probably really infected because the pus is a little orangish in color. So I d just like to know the easiest ways of curing this problem.
Hi Fairbanks for your query Don't worry too much .... Do not squeeze or scratch the pimples. Keep your skin clean, Have healthy diet & lots of fluids. Avoid too many oily foods. Apply topical Clindamycin gel over the pimples for a month. You can use topical retinoid over the comedones [but be careful as sensitive persons develop burning sensation and redness after application].and use oral Isotretinoin for 4-6 months [but always under supervision of your dermatologist] Hope this helps you. Stay in touch with your dermatologist.  Take care :)
