What are the alternatives to retinoids and acids for treating acne-prone and sensitive skin?

Doctor's Answer

If you have acne as well as eczema, it is often complicated to treat. This is because the treatment for acne will often cause a flare of eczema and the eczema treatment can cause your acne to flare.

I would recommend you see a dermatologist or doctor who can start treating both of these conditions for you as soon as possible.

The correct topical creams can help with your sensitive skin and eczema. In addition oral medicines can be used for your acne treatment. With the correct balance and close monitoring, patients can be successfully treated for both of these conditions.

All the best,

Dr Stephanie Ho, Dermatologist
