Anyone who has ever suffered from acne can tell how demoralizing and depressing it can be.

You’re eager to try just about anything and everything just to get rid of the condition....

In most cases, you hope that the new therapy you have at hand would probably get rid of all the condition in a couple of days.

You probably wake up morning after morning looking into the mirror hoping to see a clean and acne free face....

To your disappointment... all stays the same...weeks after weeks. Sometimes you notice a bit of relief. And then you’re back there again. The vicious cycle goes on.

To those who care to know- ACNE is a CHRONIC inflammatory disease of the skin.

It can affect both sexes. Can be medical related or genetic in nature, or occur as a result of lifestyle factors viz- use of wrong products (e.g steroids or products not suitable for your skin type), how much sleep you get, your diet...

Whatever be the causative factors.

Acne is curable with the right approach- seeking treatment with a certified Cosmetic physician or clinical dermatologist.

As a rule of thumb, I always tell my patients (and this is for you if you’re battling with acne or know someone who does) to

1. Play deaf to the opinion and unsolicited advice of a non-physician!

2. While being treated by a physician. Stay consistent.
