I have oily skin and acne with visible small holes on my face. What can I use to reduce them?

Visible small holes in the skin can result from various underlying causes, and the appropriate treatment depends on identifying the exact cause. A dermatologist consultation is the safest way to get a proper skin evaluation and determine what’s contributing to these changes. In the meantime, maintaining gentle cleansing, using oil-control ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid, and applying daily sunscreen can help improve overall texture while you wait for professional guidance.
Can I use Bengel AC 2.5% Gel to treat erythrasma?

Bengel AC 2.5% Gel is intended for acne treatment and is not suitable for erythrasma, which is a bacterial skin infection. Erythrasma generally requires topical or oral antibiotics prescribed by a doctor, and using acne gel will not treat it. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment plan.

Yes, Bengel AC 2.5% Gel can help manage mild to moderate acne by reducing the appearance of pimples and unclogging pores. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin. Be aware that it may cause dryness, redness, or peeling, and your skin can become more sensitive to sunlight, so using sunscreen is essential. Keep in mind that acne and skin reactions vary from person to person, and this Gel treats the symptoms rather than the underlying cause. If your acne is severe, painful, or does not improve, consult a dermatologist for further guidance.
When should Bengel AC 2.5% Gel be applied, and how should it be used?

Bengel AC 2.5% Gel should be applied once daily to clean, dry skin on the affected areas, preferably in the evening; if well tolerated, the frequency may be gradually increased to two or three times daily as advised by a doctor. Apply a thin layer, avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin, and wash hands after use. If dryness or irritation occurs, reduce application to once daily or every other day, and discontinue use if symptoms worsen. Avoid combining with other acne products unless directed by a healthcare professional.
