Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How does acne develop on the skin?
A: Acne (or pimples as we know it), develops as excessive sebum secreted from the skin blocks the skin follicles. These blocked follicles provide a very fertile environment for various microorganisms to grow. The excessive growth of these organisms and the accumulation of more and more sebum leads to swelling, redness and pain as observed in the case of pimples.
Q: Can I apply D Acne Plus gel in an excess amount for fast healing?
A: No, if you use D Acne Plus gel more often than recommended or on large areas of the body, it causes you to develop severe side effects or allergic reactions.
Q: For how long do I need to apply D Acne Plus gel?
A: Keep using the medicine for the full time of treatment, even if the symptoms begin to clear up after a short time. If you stop using the medicine too soon, the acne may return or get worse.
