Mrs. Sulochana Fernando, visited us on 20th January 2014 complaining of pimples, dark spots all over the face and acne scars in both cheeks. She was deeply worried about her condition and she had been totally disappointed as she had not found any satisfactory improvements with her number of previous treatments done in various medical and non-medical centers in Sri Lanka. Also she complained of her reduced self-confidence due to this disfiguring scarring and pigmentation of her face.

At presentation

At the consultation with our in house doctor several problems were identified.

• Active inflammatory acne, closed comodones (white heads) and open comodones (black heads).
• Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation due to acne
• Acne scars (ice picked, box scars etc.)
• Lack of knowledge on prevention of occurring new acne.
• Lack of self confidence
