How to achieve poreless skin if my skin is bumpy? (photo)

Doctor's Answers 1

From your picture, those look like clogged pores / closed comedones.

There are several treatments available to improve and smooth the skin.

I usually combine treatments for this condition so as to achieve as optimal a result as possible.

1) Topicals

I would recommend exfoliating at least once weekly and also topical Isotretinoin so as to remove overlying dead skin/ debris and to increase the turnover of skin cells so as to prevent further build up of sebum/ dead skin cells as much as possible.

2) Orals

Oral medications that can control sebum production should be considered as well as this works from "inside-out" to decrease the production and build up of sebum from within the skin.

3) Machine-based treatment

Lasers such as the Carbon Laser Peel helps to regulate oil production and also removes overlying debris on the skin.

Additionally, we do have a treatment system that removes and extracts clogged areas with medical grade serums and solutions.

Hope this helps.

All the best!

What is the best acne treatment for recurrent breakouts at temple, jawline and chin?

I noticed that I tend to breakouts after holidays. Yes, weather and humidity changes can sometimes trigger breakouts. Stress/poor quality of sleep due to jet lag and time differences can also contribute. Speaking from personal experience here; I tend to break out much worse in Singapore than I did living in the UK. Went to national skin centre for consultation, and was given some watery creams and Cetaphil products to use. Hard to comment on what you were given, but from what you’ve described here, NSC doesn’t seem to have given you anything specifically for acne treatment.

How can I remove syringoma/milia under my eyes?

Thanks for sharing your photos with us. This is probably milia and they can be removed easily with a Smartxide CO2 laser. However, it can recur as some of the doctors here have mentioned. A good skin care regime, scrub or peel can help prevent the recurrence. The CO2 laser burns off these milia with minimal scarring and the downtime is usually about 2-3 days depending on each individual. I hope this answers your question. Have a great week ahead and all the best!
