Adult Acne
I've been "suffering" from adult acne for years now. As grave as it sounds, it depresses me most of the time. I have tried hundreds of anti-acne products, including glutathione intake and have undergone some treatments in some clinics but none of them solved my skin problem. Though, one thing I haven't tried yet is consulting to a real medical practitioner and I hope there'll be at least one who'd care reading this. Seriously, sending this message to I-don't-even-know-whom means I'm desperate.

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 call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,,

Acne treatment tends to go on for as long as the tendency for the developing acne exists. Your age is 22 now and I wouldn't call it adult acne yet. When acne is prevalent after the age of 30 is when we prefer calling it adult acne. Continue your consultation with a qualified dermatologist and follow the advice as prescribed. be regular with your treatment. you can also consult online if you wish. hoe this was helpful.
