If your acne has not improved even after a year of treatment, it is important to get re-evaluated, as the cause and treatment plan may need to be changed. Persistent acne may require a combination approach, such as stronger topical medicines (like retinoids or benzoyl peroxide), oral medications, or treatment for underlying factors like hormones, stress, or diet. Avoid switching products frequently or using over-the-counter creams on your own, as this can worsen the skin. A dermatologist can assess your condition in detail and suggest more effective options.
