Hi, I am 18 years old. I have problem with pimples since a long time. About a year back I consulted a Derm. He treated me for about 6 months. The treatment was Isotretinoin. He prescribed me for a capsule sotret for 3 months daily and one month in alternative days. I also used a Benzoyl peroxide cream 2.5% initially then 5% as per his instruction. He also prescribed some kind of anti biotic for three consecutive days after i consult him every month. He also gave me clyndomycene for fresh pimples. After a 5-6 months of expensive treatment the problem was almost gone. He said to do chemical peels for marks. I did it once but it didn't have much effect. He said i will have to do it 3-4 times to get rid of marks. Since it was expensive i didn't do it. There was no problem of pimples for next 6-8 months. Now it is back again. Is there any treatment for acne for getting rid of it permanent?
