<human>: Hello, I m a 16 year old male and I ve got a severe case of acne vulgaris . It s all over my chest, back, and the nape of my neck, and it hurts! It s super itchy and I can t help but scratch them, tearing the scabs off in the process. They re probably really infected because the pus is a little orangish in color. So I d just like to know the easiest ways of curing this problem.
<bot>: Hi Fairbanks for your query Don't worry too much .... Do not squeeze or scratch the pimples. Keep your skin clean, Have healthy diet & lots of fluids. Avoid too many oily foods. Apply topical Clindamycin gel over the pimples for a month. You can use topical retinoid over the comedones [but be careful as sensitive persons develop burning sensation and redness after application].and use oral Isotretinoin for 4-6 months [but always under supervision of your dermatologist] Hope this helps you. Stay in touch with your dermatologist.  Take care :)
