Acne

If you have recieved an SMS which advises that you have acne, please find more information below. 

A GP has reviewed your images which show Acne. A prescription for Antibiotics & gel to be used daily have been sent to your nominated pharmacy for collection.

The antibiotics are called Lymecycline to be taken once a day. The gel needs to be applied thinly after cleaning the skin in the evening daily. This will cause some dryness & irritation, so to ease this you can apply a thin moisturiser like e45.

Please make an appt in 2 months to review your skin.

NOTE: the antibiotics & gel cannot be used if you are pregnant you have known allergies
