Brief Answer:
Mild to Moderate acne.Oral antibiotics will help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concern.

I have gone through your attached images as well.

She possibly seems to have mild to moderate acne.

This can well be treated with a combination of oral and topical antibiotics.

I generally prescribe oral tablets of Doxycycline and topical clindamycin to my patients with such a severity. Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
