Hi,

Acne vulgaris is a chronic relapsing skin disease. It is a multifactorial disease. Stress.worries,tension,sleeplessness,travelling,sunexposure,exercise,oily food,dandruff,drugs like steroid...etc may precipitate or exacerbate the disease. You have to take proper and regular treatment. I would suggest as below...

- antibiotic like minocycline 50 mg once a day
- isotretinoin in low dose 5 mg once a day
- apply clindamycine gel at night on lesions
- cleanse the face with antiseptic like acmed face wash
- avoid triggering factors

Keep patience for the good result.

Thanks.
