How can I prevent and treat cystic acne on my face? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

1) Appropriate products. Don't over DRY the skin, which is what people like to do. Use gel-based moisturisers instead of creams, add on some Adalapene and Dalacin Gel for the acne lesions.

2) I would still be an advocate of Isotretinoin looking at your acne type. You have oily skin and many large cystic lesions. Isotretinoin will help dry these up and you would be less troubled. Please note the pregnancy caution of the medications

3) I would actually suggest chemical peels to help dry out the acne lesions.

Please please seek help early to avoid bad scarring. I know how traumatic it can be
