I have closed comedones what is the best way to fix them other than adapalene, I used adapalene but my skin got very irritated. The comedones don't seem to disappear
Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar

Closed comedones (whiteheads) can be stubborn, and treatment often needs to be tailored to each person’s skin. Since adapalene irritates, gentler alternatives may be considered under a dermatologist’s guidance, such as azelaic acid, niacinamide, or low-strength salicylic acid. Professional options like comedone extraction or mild chemical peels may also be used. Supportive care with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser and moisturiser is important. Improvement usually takes several weeks, and results can vary depending on your skin type and lifestyle, so any new treatment should be introduced gradually and monitored by your doctor.

I have had acne for 6 years. Why does it keep recurring despite using treatments?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Acne can recur due to hormonal changes, oily skin, stress, diet, or irregular treatment use. Some treatments control acne but do not permanently remove the root cause. A long-term, consistent plan guided by a doctor is often needed.
How can I eliminate black spots caused by pimples?
Dr. S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Black spots after pimples happen due to leftover pigmentation in the skin. Regular sun protection and gentle skincare can help them fade over time. A doctor may suggest specific creams or treatments if the marks persist.
