I have facial acne and acne marks, and I am currently using Melacare Forte. What medicine or cream can you prescribe to help remove them?

Asked by Female, 22 · 1 day ago

Please be cautious with Melacare Forte; it contains a strong steroid that can worsen acne and damage your skin if used long-term. I advise tapering it off under medical supervision. To treat both active acne and acne marks safely, I recommend using Azelaic Acid (10 percent or 15 percent cream) in the morning, which fights bacteria and fades pigmentation. At night, Adapalene gel is excellent for clearing pores. Most importantly, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, as UV rays darken acne marks. Please consult a dermatologist for a tailored prescription.
