Acne: Problem
Hello Doctor, good morning.
I'm getting acne one by one on my different body parts for last month. It use to have little pain and takes ~5 days to heal. Water intake is good.
Please suggest what may I do. Image attached for reference.
Thanks in advance.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. 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 and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.
