Hi,

Acne occur cause of excessive oily skin which occur due to hormonal change in your body.

Now for treating acnes there are some natural methods

1) Wash your face twice daily with acne soap(containing sulphur)
2) Keep your hair off your face
3) Have multivitamins
4) Have diet rich in vitamin A
5) Avoid make up
6) Never squeeze your black heads
7) Change your pillow cover daily
8) Avoid high glycemic index foods(cheese)

Recomended medical treatment

1) Acne lotions(containng benzoyl peroxide,sulfur,salicylic acid),this is a over the counter drug
2) Ibuprofen as an anti-inflamatory for moderate to severe acne
3) Antibiotic in case of severe acne
4) Tretinoin may be oral or topical can be prescribed by a doctor

Then there are a number of surgical treatment as well but for most girls they should go off as soon as they are finishing of their teen age. But I agree these might be making you concious so you might follow the natural treatment mentioned above first. They should help you I believe and should be enough. You will have to be a little less concious because you can't change your hormonal level or the fact that your body is still developing.

If you don't feel satisfied then you might take acne lotions(which can cause a little burning),if it causes excessive burning then or if you are not satisfied by that also then you might consult a dermatologist.

I similar sort of dry patch developed on my finger which went on to spread over the years to my entire finger, for which i use the the same medication.. the itching on the finger and the dryness goes away after a couple of days of use but then it comes back when not used and the texture of my finger has turned out to be slightly glossy looking compared to the rest of my fingers..

Doctor's Answer

Hi, As far as I know the two can be used together (melacare hc and brevoxyly cream face wash). It is just that you should not have any kind of allergy to brevoxyly cream face wash. First use only brevoxyly cream and if you have breathing difficulty,swelling of lips,face and throat,skin redness,burning,or dryness,then don't use it further but otherwise there should not be any worry. However it depends from person to person so it cannot be confirmed. Melacare cream should not be used for too lon ...
