Where can I get a prescription for Aczone (Dapsone) in Singapore?

Doctor's Answers 1

I understand from your question that you may be suffering from a type of acne called nodular cystic acne? Aczone is a possible treatment option but is quite outdated and not a first line topical medicine for acne. This drug review shows that it has lower response rate that currently available treatment options.

There are good oral and topical treatments available for nodular cystic acne. I would advise a proper consult with your dermatologist or aesthetic doctor for an assessment and treatment, so as to prevent the scars they leave behind. You can leave a treatment quote enquiry in the box below!

Why do I only have acne on my cheeks?

I would suggest that you seek treatment early. Don't squeeze, don't put excessive acne products (risk of chemical burns) and if it's bad, start Isotretinoin therapy for the control of acne.

Which type of sunblock should I use to prevent acne and oily face?

Hi V – it’s important to use a sunblock, not to prevent oily skin, but to prevent skin aging and skin damage – in the form of wrinkles, pigmentation, increased risk of skin cancer. If you are prone to oily skin, you can go to Watsons/Guardian etc in Singapore to buy a sunblock with SPF 50 that’s suitable for acne-prone skin. These are usually non-comedogenic: ie oil-free, alcohol-free and with a water base.
