Hi,
Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial skin disease. Genetic tendency,seborrhoea, dandruff,stress,sun exposure,oily food,sleeplessness,drugs like steroids,hormonal disturbances..etc can stimulate or exacerbate the acne lesions. Cap minocycline 50 mg daily morning and cap isotretinoin 5 mg at night for few months may be taken to have good result. And apply clindamycine gel at night. Cleanse the face with cetaphil lotion twice a day. Avoid factors as suggested. You may feel better after few months. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
