Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
You have a sensitive skin.
Use a gentle cleanser for face wash e.g cetaphil cleansing lotion rather than using a soap.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical antiacne gel like either clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide gel once or twice daily.
A topical retinoid e,g adapalene or tretinoin should be used once daily at night. It not only exfoliates existing acne but also prevents formation of new comedones/ comedogenesis.
