Facial acne issue
My acne keeps coming back. I am 26 years old, and, have never experienced any such issues even in my teenage period. But, for last one year, despite doing treatments on my acne, it keeps occuring. My whole face is bumpy and looks irritated. Also, my face looks much darker and dull in comparison to my neck. Please suggest me something that helps.

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.
