Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe acne on the face since 10 months which occurs when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. I would suggest you to apply clearasil face wash twice a day as it contain salicylic acid which is very good for preventing acne. Apply betnovate on acne twice a day for 2-3 days. After washing face apply cream containing azelaic acid. Avoid touching and pricking it with sharp objects. Exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin from your face. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isoteritenoin for twice a day for few weeks .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
