Can somebody advice me for my problem with face spots?

Dear,

I am having a problem with my face more than 6 months. I visited cosmetician at the beginning and 3 times a doctor. Both of them came 4 times with different therapies and no solution at all.

This is my problem. On both of my chicks I have spots that total of 20. They are red, where some of them are coming higher than the skin and some are just flat. All of them have hard cores just under the skin. These cores are like balls (similar to fat balls) which trying to squeeze cause pain. And all of them have hair inside.

From using acidi-borici (generic-latin name), betadine scrub and eryacne (eytromicine) to liquid antibiotic clindamicine 1% with hydrocortison 1%. No use of them, not at all...The only thing that looked like helping was tea tree face wash, but the doctor told me to stop using it.

I am 27 years old, male and sport person and never had problems of this kind so far.

Hello,
They sound like blackheads and folliculitis. Cleanse the area thoroughly and apply a good mild exfoliating scrub on that. Apply a medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This helps is soaking the oil and helps in peeling away the blackheads. If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 mins of applying benzoyl peroxide. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin can also be applied.

If the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed for which I suggest you to consult a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
