I'm a 17-year-old girl struggling with a ton of pimples on my face, and the usual acne creams haven't really worked out for me. I'm wondering if Metrogyl Gel could be effective for treating my acne?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited.
For acne treatment, consider the following:
- Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne.
- Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads.
- Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.

I'm really concerned about how long it usually takes for an ear piercing to heal completely. My daughter had hers done, and it doesn't seem to be healing like it should. We're still noticing a bit of blood when we take out the earring. Is there any gel or remedy that could help speed up the healing process after a piercing?
try using alovergel and consult your doctor
