About Anaero Gel

Anaero Gel belongs to the class of medicine known as an antibiotic. This combination medicine is primarily used to treat acne. Acne or acne vulgaris is a long-term skin problem caused when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It leads to the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, oily skin and a scar on the uppermost layer of the skin (epidermis).
