Hi. I am a 32 year old lady. I am suffering from adult acne for 2 years now. My periods are absolutely normal. I finally decided to consult a dermatologist. She decided to give topical treatment as well as few medicines. I am being given NUTRIDERM moisturizing lotion, Bello's PHOTOSTABLE SUNSCREEN, GLYCO 6 and Adaferin gel which I have to apply on alternate days. She also gave me Tracnil sachets to be consumed twice daily and Azifast 500 to be taken alternate days. I started this in May, after 1-2 months the results were better and I did not get new breakouts. But since last two months i.e july and August, there has been a surge in pimples. I get anew breakout every other day. In July, she advised me to stop Azifast 500 for a while and gave me Doxy - 1 L-DR Forte for 15 days. When there was no improvement and more breakouts, she advised me to stop it and use azifast again. Now its september and since 2-3 weeks there is no improvement. In fact breakouts have surged. I again followed up with her 10 days ack and she advice me to go for the following tests: T3 T4 Tsh, RBS/Hba 1 C levels, S Vitamin D levels, CBC. S lipid LFT, RFT along with FSH/LH, S Prolactin (pooled), S insulin random, S.E2, S.DHEAS, USg Pelvis to R/O PCOS (these few hormonal related tests she advised me to get done on the 3rd day of my periods. Please tell me if she is treating me right. I am very stressed because of the condition of my face. Shall I change the doctor or go for homeopathic instead? HELP.
