Dermatologist’s Acne Treatment

from my consultation

this is given with the context that i had acne for more than a year

reduce carbs (rice, juice, even fruits, no sweets, sugar), soy, whey, any tea, seafood (iodine), dairy
avoid b12, b6, E vitamins
sleep (don’t stay up or strain yourself)
avoid heat, sunlight (creates spots on the skin), wear sunblock
- sunblock indoors because of gadgets (blue light)
- sunblock to neck (even skintone)
- sunglasses (eyes, gadgets) (not skin related but eh, she told me)
tissue in mask (4hr), light color mask
non flouridated toothpaste (white only, no gel, no stripes)
only dab sweat, not wipe (removes the medicine on the face)
no cologne (after 10 mins on clothes if yes), darkens spots on the face due to heat/sun
tea tree soap 1-2 mins bubble, then wash off
shampoo: only johnson&johnson, sunsilk (basically avoid harsh chemicals)
no erythromyocin (medication given is stronger)

For swimming, only do for PM
1 thin layer for medications

Antibiotic (doxycycline) is to help with when you stay up late

medication prescribed

biretix (every morning)
- for smaller pimples
- can use up to a year
doxycycline (i forgot the frequency, may also be daily)
- for larger pimples (stop use once gone)

tea tree soap (facewash)
acne clarifying toner (lab46 skincare brand)
bc lotion (moisturizer)
- i assume deeper-moisturizing because this was prescribed after i told my dermatologist that sometimes i find my skin dry even after putting on moisturizer
acne gel
clear gel
azelaic acid
sunscreen
