Acne scars that have been present for 10 years usually require a proper evaluation to determine their type and the most suitable treatment. Treatment options may include topical medications, chemical peels, microneedling, laser procedures, or other dermatologist-recommended therapies, depending on the severity and nature of the scars. Because individual skin conditions and skin care needs vary, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist for a thorough skin assessment and a personalised treatment plan. Avoid picking at pimples and use sunscreen regularly, as this can help prevent further skin damage and discolouration.

Can Benzac AC 5% Gel help treat my acne and dark spots?

Yes, Benzac AC 5% Gel (Benzoyl Peroxide) may help treat acne by reducing excess oil, unclogging pores, and killing acne-causing bacteria. However, it is less effective for dark spots. To treat dark spots, creams containing azelaic acid, vitamin C, or niacinamide, along with daily sunscreen use, are recommended.

Yes, you may use Benzac AC 5% Gel (benzoyl peroxide) for acne (pimples) on the face and chest. It helps reduce oil production, unclog pores, and kill the bacteria that cause pimples.

I have had pimples all over my face for the past 2 years. I have tried some Ayurvedic medicines, but they have not helped. Please suggest what I should do now.

As Ayurvedic medicines have not helped over the past two years, you should consult a dermatologist. They may suggest topical treatments, such as retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, and, if needed, oral medications like antibiotics or isotretinoin, depending on your acne type. Maintaining a gentle skincare routine, avoiding picking pimples, using sunscreen, eating a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress can also help improve your skin.

I have been suffering from acne for the past 12 years. I have consulted several doctors, but I have not found a permanent solution yet. What treatment would you recommend?

For long-standing acne, a long-term treatment plan is usually required. This may include benzoyl peroxide, topical retinoids, and sometimes oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline. If these treatments do not work, a dermatologist may suggest oral retinoids, such as Isotretinoin, which is very effective for severe, persistent acne. After improvement, maintenance treatment and daily sunscreen are important to prevent acne from returning and to reduce marks and scars.

What is the best treatment for acne, and how can I get glowing skin?

The best treatment for acne includes using a gentle face wash, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide, or prescription topical retinoids and antibiotic creams to reduce inflammation and unblock pores. For glowing skin, maintain a healthy diet, drink plenty of water, use sunscreen daily, and get adequate sleep. If acne is severe or persistent, consult a doctor or dermatologist for proper treatment.

I have pimples and black spots on my face. Please suggest the appropriate treatment for my problem.

You may try an over-the-counter face wash containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help clear existing pimples and prevent new breakouts. For black spots, use creams containing azelaic acid, vitamin C, or niacinamide, and apply sunscreen daily to prevent them from darkening further. If your pimples are severe or do not improve, consult a doctor for possible oral medications. Do not squeeze pimples, as this may cause scars or holes.
