Hi,
Since the problem is hormone induced you can start on T.Diane35 from day5 of menstrual cycle for 21days for consecutive 3months along with topicalDerivaCMS in the night.Topical medicine can cause drying effect.So use Acnemoist or any other moisturiser by day.Continue this and report to me later.If not responding let us consider starting on oral Isotretinoin.
