Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Moreover Betnovate N cream should not be used on the face as it will cause worsening of pimples.
Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
Management of acne

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime and apply adapelene 0.1 percent gel on the pimples at night.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Besides this keep your face dry, avoid oiling of scalp, reduce the intake of sugary foods and use cosmetics labelled as non comedogenic.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
