Hi ,welcome to healthcaremagic.Thanks for writing your query here. Acne is primarily a hormonal condition driven by male or ‘androgenic’ hormones, which typically become active during the teenage years. Sensitivity to such hormones, combined with bacteria on the skin, and fatty acids within oil glands, cause acne. Common sites for acne are the face, chest, shoulders, and back -- the sites of oil glands. Acne lesions include whiteheads, blackheads, small bumps, and nodules and cysts. Acne treatments work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation or doing all four. With most prescription acne treatments, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better.So please have some patience and continue with treatment .You can just use soaps containing benzyl peroxide.Take care.
