Small pimples with oily skin and redness are common and usually respond well to consistent care, so you should continue using Deriva BPO as prescribed (usually at night) and Episoft Cream to prevent dryness, as mild redness, peeling, or irritation can happen in the first few weeks and usually settles. Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser, avoid scrubbing or using harsh products, use a sunscreen during the day, and do not pick or squeeze pimples. The treatment should be continued for at least 4-6 weeks to show clear results. If redness becomes severe, acne worsens, or there is no improvement, follow up with your dermatologist for adjustment of treatment.

Severe acne can be effectively managed with the right combination of treatments and skincare, so start with a gentle routine; wash your face twice daily with a mild cleanser, avoid scrubbing or picking pimples, and use non-comedogenic (oil-free) products, while applying doctor-prescribed treatments such as Benzoyl Peroxide or retinoid-based creams to reduce oil, bacteria, and clogged pores. If acne is widespread, painful, or leaving marks, a doctor may add oral medicines like antibiotics or, in some cases, isotretinoin, depending on severity. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, stress control, and proper sleep also supports improvement, but since severe acne often needs prescription treatment, it is best to consult a dermatologist for a personalised plan and follow it consistently for several weeks to see good results.
