Hi, thank you for your question.

Based on your description above, we truly understand that you are seeking for medications to treat your acne problem. We are here to help you.

First and foremost, further examination is needed to provide you the best treatment. For your information, acne can be cause by multifactorial causes such as:

• Excess oil production on sebaceous glands or excessive consumption of oily food (fried in particular).
• Clogged hair follicles by oil or dead skin.
• Poor skin hygiene which cause bacterial infection
• Hormonal factors: excessive secretion of androgens.

However, acne can also be caused by serious conditions that might need further evaluation by a doctor including:

• Foliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles
• Dermatitis
• Infectious diseases such as dengue fever, HIV, and chickenpox.
• Allergic reactions to some drugs
• Disease of the hair follicles is urticaria
• Vasculitis

There are several questions that we need to enquire from you to explore different possibilities and give you the best treatment.

You are recommended to speak with our doctor via teleconsultation who can assess your symptoms and offer further advice.

We hope this answers your questions. Thank You
