Very Educative explanation on pimple & Acne
Doctor Thank you
Excellent piece of information on acne. I strongly believe that non-compliance is a major determinant of poor treatment outcomes. I was recently consulted by a young female with what appeared to me as grade 2 acne that had not improved on topical retinoids. My concern is whether it is standard practice to treat grade 2 acne with topical retinoids. Please advise.
Hi Emmanuel, replying on behalf of Dr Dianne King:
My advice would be to treat all patients with a topical retinoid regardless of the grade of acne (even the mild comedonal acne). Along with with a course LED light therapy, twice weekly for 4/8 weeks.
Warm regards,
