Hi Ruchika,
Presently you are concerned for an issue, that`s why some medications like oral/topical retinoids, doxycycline, Minocycline need to be avoided.
Other topical medications like clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide may be applied.
Once your family is complete, you can go for aggressive treatment after consultation with dermatologist.
