Is Metrogyl Gel effective in treating acne? I am a 17 year old girl with a lot of pimples on my face. I have used the regular acne creams but they haven’t worked well so far.
Metrogyl Gel, containing metronidazole, is primarily used to treat rosacea, a skin condition characterized by redness, inflammation, and acne-like symptoms. While it might help with acne, its effectiveness for this purpose is limited.
For acne treatment, consider the following:
1. Benzoyl peroxide-based creams or gels (2.5% or 5%) for mild to moderate acne.
2. Salicylic acid-based products (0.5% or 2%) for blackheads and whiteheads.
3. Sulfur-based products for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment. They may prescribe topical or oral medications, such as retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal treatments, depending on your acne severity and type.
