Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on your face which occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. I would suggest you to use face wash containing benzoyl peroxide , exfoliate your face once a week with non comedogenic exfoliant , apply aloe vera gel at night before going to bed and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day after washing face as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. Also drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( clindamycin ) course along with steroid ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
