I've been dealing with persistent redness on my face ever since I used Elosone HT. It's been a long 9 months and I've seen multiple doctors without much luck. They've prescribed various treatments like Benzoyl peroxide gel, Doxybond LB tablets, Clobetamil, aloe vera gel, and Salicylic acid creams, among others. I've also tried Metrogel, Calapure lotion, and Epilyno lotion. Despite all these efforts, the redness still hasn't completely gone away. I'm really worried and could use some help figuring out an effective treatment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been struggling with frequent pimples for quite some time now. I started using Lobate GM about four years ago, but the pimples just keep coming back, especially if I try to switch my face wash. Lately, it's been really bad, mostly on my forehead, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm currently in Chennai working for an MNC, and it's becoming pretty frustrating to manage. Can you suggest a complete solution for this ongoing issue? It would be great if you could also recommend any ointments that might suit my skin type.
To address your persistent pimple issue, consider consulting a dermatologist in Chennai for personalized guidance; in the meantime, maintain a consistent skincare routine, use non-comedogenic products, and avoid changing face washes frequently; regarding Lobate GM cream, it contains neomycin and clotrimazole, which may not be suitable for long-term use, so consider alternative treatments like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil-based products, and for specific product recommendations, consult your dermatologist, who can prescribe suitable ointments or creams based on your skin type and condition.

I've been using a clindamycin gel and isotretinoin tablet for my acne and scars for about 12 days now, but my skin seems to be getting oilier and I'm not seeing much improvement. In fact, I feel like my acne is more noticeable. Do you think I should stop using them, or is this normal and I should give it more time?
Concerns about Clindamycin gel and Isotretinoin tablet. _Possible Reasons for Oily Skin and Lack of Improvement:_ 1. _Initial breakout_: Isotretinoin can cause an initial flare-up of acne. 2. _Hormonal adjustments_: Isotretinoin can affect hormone levels, leading to increased oil production. 3. _Clindamycin gel_: Can cause skin dryness, but in some cases, may increase oil production. _Recommended Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult your dermatologist_: Discuss your concerns and the lack of improvement. 2. _Do not stop medication abruptly_: Consult your dermatologist before stopping or adjusting treatment. 3. _Consider adjustments to treatment_: Your dermatologist may adjust the dosage or recommend additional treatments to control oil production and acne. _Maintain Good Skincare Habits:_ 1. _Use non-comedogenic products_: Avoid products that clog pores. 2. _Keep your skin clean_: Gently wash your face twice a day. 3. _Avoid picking or popping pimples_: This can lead to further inflammation and scarring.
