How can I get rid of closed comedones that do not respond to topical treatments?

Doctor's Answer

I would like to ask you to consider stopping benzoyl peroxide. From my experience, it tends to dry the skin and not solve the underlying comedone issue.

I would actually consider adding on oral isotretinoin to work on the pathogenesis of sebum production. And also, to use a keratinolytic such as differin and tretinoin.

Please seek consultation with a doctor to treat it!
