Question 1

good day

is there any contraception that can also help with acne? if so which one? i am currently using yaz plus and the pimples are worse?

Accepted Answer

See dermatologist: Usually, Yaz would help to reduce acne, esp on the face. however, you might require another Rx med to be used along with your current birth control meds. This other med , called Spironolactone may be prescribed by your dermatologist as well as one or more topical creams or washes. I would advise seeing the dermatologist soon.

Question 2

22yr female. dehydration/fine lines on lower eye lid(on the lid itself)i also have acne pimples&black heads plus enlarged pores will chemicalpeels fix?

Accepted Answer

Chemical Peels: Chemical Peels are a good addition for your acne treatment regimen, especially salicylic acid peels. These decrease oil and help with pores. You will want to get on a regular schedule of salicylic acid peels. If you are not using tretinoin (Retin-A) this would be another key agent to help get your acne under control. Hydration and diet are vital too. Cut sugar and diary as much as you can.

Question 3

is acne and pimples are same?

Accepted Answer

: Usually depends on what your local team says in their usage. Check with your Dr.

Question 4

how to remove acne or pimples?

Accepted Answer

Options: There are many medications and treatments from antibiotics to cleansers to acutane. See a dermatologist to choose the right option or treatment for you.

Question 5

can clobact gm cure acne or pimples?

Accepted Answer

NEVER!!!!: First, neomycin is useless. It is a common sensitizer causing numerous allergic reactions. Clobetasol is a super potent steroid associated with risk of cataracts and glaucoma. It also may cause a peculiar rash called PERIORAL DERMATITIS which resembles severe acne. This product should never have been made, must NOT BE USED ON FACE, and is a terrible choice for acne.

Question 6

how best can i treat acne and pimples?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your physician. All "home" / "pop" / "natural" remedies are adjuncts only. Depending on severity, it may be possible to clear you with a bit of topical clindamycin, or you may require Isotretinoin which isn't for the faint-hearted but works well. Best wishes.

Question 7

what can i do to treat pimples/acne fast?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Benzoyl peroxide for starters. If not sufficient, topical Clindamycin and/or a topical retinoic acid derivative the latter especially if there are a lot of blackheads. Next step for a lady is the oral contraceptive pill if it is right for her. Then a systemic antibiotic right for the person. The big guns is accutae, not pleasant cheap or without risks but hugely effective and very much worth it.

Question 8

does oily food contribute to acne/pimples?

Accepted Answer

Foods and acne: So far two food groups that have been shown to contribute to acne are dairy products and high glycemic index carbs. In men, chocolate has been shown to worsen acne as well. So far there is no evidence for oily foods contributing to acne.

Question 9

how do i effectivelycontrol acne and pimples?

Accepted Answer

Meds: Many patients do well with over the counter benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid preparations. Some patients require topical or oral antibiotics or retinoids as well. If the over the counter meds alone don't control your acne after a month of daily use, see a doctor for additional treatment options. It is important to be persistent, and some patients 'get worse before they get better'.

Question 10

how can i effectively treat acne and pimples?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Two weeks trial of topical benzoyl peroxide alone. This clears most mild acne. If not clear, physician's office visit. Options may include topical retinoic acid derivative, topical clindamycin, the oral contraceptive pill for a woman who can take it, and/or an appropriate systemic antibiotic right for the patient. Tough cases referred for isotretinoin. Manage as a chronic disease. Good luck.
