    I'm getting very frustrated with my oily skin and acne..just browsing for good dermataologists in my are..
    Was just thinking, we can get treatment for acne by visiting any dermatologist and getting prescription from them for some Over the counter creams or antibiotics or medicated ones..
    But how to find the root cause of acne in each case?
    I'm suffering from acne from teenage years..
    Recently it has become too bad and I'm feeling too upset.
    Any blood test to diagnose cause of acne? Many years ago my classmate who also struggled with acne told me the skin specialist asked her to do some sort of blood test..I don't remember what it is..
    Her skin looked much better when I saw her several months later after she got treated..unfortunately m not in touch with her.
    Kindly inform me what blood test is done and cost in INR..living in India.
    I'm surely going to consult a good dermatologist in my area but I just need to know what test is usually done when someone complains of acne since many years..because some doctors may recommend unneccessary tests.
    In case the acne is found to be hormonal in nature in what way is the treatment different?any links for treatment of hormonal acne pls share with me.
    Would appreciate any inputs, feeling so bad when few people asked me regarding my skin.

    I can understand your problem. Even I’m suffering from oily skin and acne especially before getting periods!
    I was fed up of visiting dermatalogists, various creams etc etc.

    What I noticed was diet plays a major role.
    For few days I did keto diet and my skin was glowing and no acne too.. my complexion was enhanced as well.
    But seeing so many controversies of that diet , I stopped following it.
    Instead opt for healthy balanced diet, avoid oily and unhealthy foods. Start eating fresh fruits, veggies , cut down sugar asap!

    As you already mentioned it could be hormonal too, so they may give some hormonal tests like mentioned below . It can vary from case to case.

    The oily skin, pollution are the cause of acne. You have to go to a good dermatologist and get it treated. During my college days, i went to a physician and got my acne treated. I had the acne from 7th std. I tried all possible remedies the neighbours suggested, beautician suggestions, home made face packs etc. All these gives a temporary relief.
    But when the doctor treated it, the acne did vanish. But it was almost a six months treatment.
    I am not aware about the blood test.

    Hope this helps - UpToDate - informative article written by an MD. Goes over pretty much everything you'd want to know about acne and its treatment.

    Hi ,

    I never had continues acne but once I had it started to spread over my face. I met a beautician. She does facial treatment for acne. And it worked like magic. Now I am very careful even when I get one acne!!

    Check if there is any nearby beauty parlour of they do acne treatment. It may take 3- to 7 session to clear off.

    1) keep it clean. Wash face morning and night.
    2) Use natural ingredients like basen, sandalwood paste, turmeric. ( sandalwood paste you can make at home)
    3) Put face pack like multani mitti and take steam once in a weak.
    4) keep your head clean. If you have dandruff very easy to get acne!.
    5) Use vitamin c serum. Which will help to rebuild collagen.

    When we have sensitive and oily skin easy to get acne. Also when we reach around teenage and around 30. There is high chance of getting acne as our hormone changes.

    Hi.I understand how difficult it is to face acne.So,Firstly i would say stop applying any creams for acne that is not going to work.All you need is a good diet .Good diet plays a very important role in getting rid of acne .Then come your skin which is suffering with oil and acne .Make sure you keep your skin always clean and hydrated,use the correct skin care products would suggest you to go for gel based moisturizer .PLEASE do not skin moisturizing your skin most of the people suffering with acne do that .Also go for regular clean ups and facials so that your skin is always clean and fresh.Most IMPORTANTLY start drinking celery juice first thing in the morning on an empty stomach .Drinking celery juice on an empty stomach give miracle results it is proven to cure acne.Then comes your diet and skin care .For facials or clean ups i would recommend you to visit VLCC salon .They offer very good facials .
