I have face acne vulgaris on my chest and back for 3.5 years.
At initial stage i take medication and take medicine as prescribed me. When i took medicine the acne will reduce and when i left the acne will come.
I took medicine along more than 12 months but after 12 months i left to take it.
Right now i have red small red bumps appear on my chest and back and disppear automatically after 10-14 days to reduce a scars and having no itching.
The doctor alsp told me that it is as usual and may remain upto 25+ years. But i have crossed 25+ but show liitle improvement on acne. Right now i only use acneguard soap and left all medicine more than 1.5 years before.

3. What medicine i will take to reduce acne totally and how much duration or time period to take the medicine

Skin care needs to be customized based on the presenting complaints. There are different ways to achieve a flawless skin after acne and it needs medical interventions and commitment on part of the patient. Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequelae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. An attempt to find out the root cause of acne should be made in every patient or else it keeps recurring. Each phase takes a couple of weeks before we move to the next phase of treatment. If you have active acne lesions, it should be controlled on priority basis. Acne scar and pores can be treated with subcisions, dermaroller, fractional CO2 lasers, chemical peels and likewise. Remember combining treatment modalities help to achieve desired results earlier. Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation. Apart from active pharmaceutical medicines, a healthy diet and lifestyle is mandatory to achieve results.
