I'm noticing a bunch of moles popping up on my face and neck, and I'm also dealing with acne. I've been using Acnelak soap twice a day to wash my face. Do you have any tips or methods for cleaning that might help me get clearer skin?

To address moles, acne, and achieve clear skin:

Cleaning Method

1. Gentle cleanser: Replace Acnelak soap with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser (e.g., Cetaphil or Neutrogena).
2. Warm water: Cleanse your face with warm water instead of hot water.
3. Pat dry: Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.

Additional Tips

1. Exfoliate: Exfoliate once or twice a week using a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).
2. Toner: Use a toner to balance your skin's pH and remove any remaining impurities.
3. Moisturize: Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
4. Sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily.
5. Avoid picking: Refrain from picking or squeezing acne or moles, as this can lead to scarring and infection.

Professional Advice

1. Consult a dermatologist: Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to assess your skin and provide personalized advice.
2. Mole evaluation: Have your moles evaluated by a dermatologist to determine if they are benign or require further attention.
