Acne on my cheeks- pains so much
I have been facing this problem since last year. Consulted many doctors but nothing worked for me. Initially erytop helped me to an extent but it doesn't anymore. My periods are normal. I drink a lot of water. I consume roughage everyday. I have red a coloured acne and it pains. I feel like itching which I m not allowed to do. My skin is very oily.

Acne can be treated easily with facewash, tablets and creams. 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 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.,,

Use oil control face wash. You will need oral medications to control the pain and gradually stop. However you need to get evaluation done. Peels and lasers will help to improve your acne
