Hello doctor, I am a 20 years old female. I have a history of acne since 2017 and have been using combinations of the following medications through these 3 years on consultation from dermatologist: fucidin cream ip, faceclin gel, faceclin at gel, nadibact gel, cetaphil dam lotion, photostable gel, and kojivit ultra gel along with tablets (azithromycin 500 mg). But my acne keeps recurring. I request you to please help me with information on which ointments are to be used when. I am using only aloe vera gel at present, and I have comedones, scars and few papules, mainly on cheeks and forehead, and on chin. Please let me know what to continue with.
