I am 32 year old unmarried female. I am suffering from severe acne since 2017 before that I had clear skin. My cheeks are full of acne and its marks. I have consulted different dermatologist but no results. I took all the medicines which they have prescribed. This time I am taking minoz er 45 and vizylac. Dr. has suggested me to avoid milk and dairy products but I cannot do the same as I have vitamins and calcium deficiency. Kindly suggest what should I do?

No need to avoid milk n milk products as there is no correlation between milk n acne. To prevent pimples, eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, drinking plenty of water should be an essential part of your routine and intake of oily fried foods, an excess of sugar-salt should be avoided. Don't peal pimples, as they tend to leave scars. Stop using soap on face. Instead take a spoon of milk, add a pinch of turmeric (haldi). Mix n apply on face with the help of cotton. Leave for a few minutes then wash off. It?s a good cleanser. If skin is dry then apply moisturizer like coconut oil. For swollen pimples, gently apply ice for a minute or so. Just don't keep the ice on so long that it irritates your skin. Tea tree oil can kill bacteria. Some people use it to treat minor skin irritations, including acne. There isn't much research on how effective it is, but tea tree oil is safe to put directly on your skin in a diluted form. Try it on a small area first to make sure you don't have an allergic reaction. Simple honey mask--before applying this mask, rinse your face with warm water to open up pores. Then apply honey and leave it on the skin for 30 minutes. Rinse the honey off with warm water; then rinse again with cold water to close the pores. Yeast and yogurt mask for oily skin--oily skin is prone to acne, and this home remedy can reduce excess oil and help clear acne. To make the mask, combine 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast with a little plain yogurt to create a thin mixture. Apply it thoroughly to all the oily areas and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water; then use cold water to close the pores.Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. For more details consult online.

Hello. If you are taking tab minoz er 45 (minocycline) after proper dermatolgist consultation in person, den continue taking this medication. One of the most common side effect reported by the patient is hyperpigmentation, so if you notice any black spots of lips, fingers etc after taking this tablet den you have to stop dis. As this drug may also causes photosensitivity so use a good sunscreen depending upon your skin condition (like oily skin / dry skin. When you use sunscreen for long time it wil cause vit d deficiency in body, so take calcium tablet like calcimax but only oral medication will not help you much in acne, you have to apply topical medications also (like adapalene/ benzol peroxide/ clindymycin etc depending upon the grade of acne. Fatty and oily foods sometimes flare up the acne but strict avoidance is never advised, so you can take milk but not in excess. For vitamin deficiency take multivitamin tablets like a to z/ becosule z etc. Be under regular follow up with the dermatolgist. Thanks.
