Question 1

can a girl use neosporin cream (neomycin and polymyxin b) for acne?

Accepted Answer

No: Neosporin will not help acne. It may even make it worse. It is also a common cause of allergic eruptions -so throw it away.

Question 2

can beclomethasone dipropionate, clotrimazole and neomycin cream be used for acne?

Accepted Answer

No : Beclomethasone is a steroid ; Clotrimazole is an antifungal and neither will treat acne. Neosporin is a topical antibiotic but is not commonly used to treat acne.

Question 3

i was wondering is betamethasone valerate/neomycin good to remove acne marks?

Accepted Answer

Terrible idea: The redness and hyperpigmentation that follow acne lesions are basically something that you need to allow to fade. Betamethasone will make your new lesions worse and make you more prone to acne, and suppress you ability to fight the microbes; it can also cause atrophy of your face, disfiguring you. Plus, you're using a prescription drug improperly. Your physician can advise you on acne control.

Question 4

can you tell me is betamethasone valerate/neomycin good to remove acne marks?

Accepted Answer

Terrible idea: Please forgive my frankness. Betamethasone can make your skin atrophy and it won't help at all. Red and brown post-acne marks need to fade on their own. The acute lesions will probably be made worse by the betamethasone. Scientific acne rx starts with benzoyl peroxide as tolerated, and if this does not clear you, getting prescription-strength rx from your physician. Best wishes.

Question 5

neosporin cream (neomycin and polymyxin b) on acne - helps decrease scarring?

Accepted Answer

Can do better: No one needs to have bad acne or acne scarring in this day and age.  I start folks on cheap topical Clindamycin which usually works; if that fails, cheap systemic tetracycline (kept mine under control for 25 years).  A dermatologist can offer you even more potent retinoic acid-related meds, especially if it's cystic acne.  You have a choice.

Question 6

can betamethasone valerate/neomycin reduce acne scars?

Accepted Answer

No: I am really sorry that your acne was neglected and you got scars. This stuff is asking to make things worse. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon may be able to help with a filler, laser or microsurgery.

Question 7

neomycin cream is it good to remove of pimples from face?

Accepted Answer

Acne: Neomycin is not used for acne. Start with using benzoyl peroxide cream twice daily to the pimples. Use a mild soap to wash the skin prior to applying the benzoyl peroxide.  See your doctor if your acne persists. Depending upon the severity of the acne your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to take by mouth or an antibiotic cream or gel.

Question 8

how to vanish acne?

Accepted Answer

Some options...: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics like tetracycline can be used. If quite severe, a dermatologist may use Accutane.

Question 10

how can i fix my acne?

Accepted Answer

Be kind to your skin: Treating adult acne can be a challenge. The first step is to be kind to your skin and clean it with a gentle cleanser. Harsh scrubbing and strong soaps can make acne worse. The second step is to try the over the counter treatments available. Consult with your doctor to see which ones are right for you. The last step is to avoid picking at your acne as this can lead to scarring and inflammation.
