About Acnesol Gel 20 gm

Acnesol Gel 20 gm is a topical prescription medicine used to treat common skin breakouts, specifically acne. Its primary medical purpose is to clear up existing pimples and help prevent new blemishes from forming on your face, chest, or back. By targeting the underlying causes of skin inflammation, it helps you manage chronic breakouts effectively.
To get the best results, you must apply this medicine consistently, usually once or twice every day, exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Before applying it, you should wash the affected area gently with a mild cleanser and pat it dry. Making simple lifestyle adjustments, such as washing your face with a non-irritating cleanser and using oil-free cosmetics, can significantly improve your results.

While using Acnesol Gel 20 gm , you may experience mild side effects like dry, peeling, or slightly red skin. These are typically manageable, but if you experience severe skin irritation, intense abdominal cramps, or severe watery diarrhoea, you should stop using the medicine and contact your doctor immediately.
It is important to discuss your complete medical history with your doctor before starting this treatment. Do not use this if you have a history of inflammatory bowel conditions, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or severe diarrhoea caused by previous antibiotic use.
