Patient Question

Hello Doctor,


Dealing with persistent, non-greasy facial pimples? Cortisone cream's my go-to fix. Any other tips for managing these stubborn blemishes?

Answered by Dr. Anna Chacon

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.


While general acne management tips like maintaining a skincare routine, using non-comedogenic products, considering over-the-counter treatments, avoiding touching your face, maintaining a healthy diet, and staying hydrated can be beneficial for many people with acne, if your acne specifically responds only to cortisone creams, it suggests that it might be more than just typical acne. In such cases, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.


Thanks
