Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

If you are having menstrual irregularities along with acne, it could be due to an underlying hormonal imbalance.

You could consult a dermatologist who will be able to asses the problem and refer to to a gynaecologist if required.

Wash your face with a pH balanced face wash, preferably a one containing 1-2% salicylic acid. You may apply a gel containing clindamycin 1% in the morning over pimples and Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel at night over pimple prone areas. Get these prescribed by your doctor.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
