Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest the following management options:

1. Acnesol (Clindamycin) gel is used during the day for 15 days.
2. Benzac AC (Benzoyl peroxide) 2.5 percent gel at night for 15 days.
3. Tablet Azithromycin 500 mg once a day before food for three days a week (for two weeks).
4. Ahaglow (which contains Acrylate Copolymer, Sodium Laureth Sulphate) face wash twice daily for 20 days.
5. Avoid stress.
6. Do not pop or prick lesions because they can cause secondary bacterial infection.

I hope this helps.

2. Do you have female pattern baldness or hair loss?
3. Do you experience irregular menstrual cycles, PCOD, or thyroid-related issues?
4. Are you currently taking or have you taken any medications?
5. Have you undergone any procedures or used an epilator?
6. Do you prick or pluck chin hair?
7. Have you had any trauma or injury in the affected area?
8. Do you have premenstrual flare-ups?
9. Is the condition stress-induced?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

In this case, the cause of acne may be hormonal, stress-related, or due to disturbed sleep patterns. Antidepressant medications can have side effects such as pimples.

Other contributing factors include bacterial infection (Propionibacterium acnes), obstruction of the pilosebaceous duct (follicular plugging), and excess sebum secretion.

A few remedies that can help you are:

1. Avoid stress and late-night sleep.
2. Exercise regularly.
3. Manage your anxiety, stress, and unnecessary medication use.
4. Practice meditation and yoga.
5. Wash your face twice daily.
6. Apply Kojic cream at night for 20 days for dark circles.
7. Drink plenty of water and ensure adequate sleep.

I hope this helps.

I suggest you use Nadibact (Nadifloxacin) cream at night for 15 days (when lesions are itchy). Exercise regularly and do yoga or meditation to regulate hormones. Regularize your sleep patterns.

Follow up for any doubts.

I hope this helps.
