Hi,
It may be adult acne with infection. Kindly consult the dermatologist.
You may take oral antibiotic like azithromycine 500 mg thrice a week for for few months with cap isotretinoin 10 mg daily.
Apply anti acne gel like clindamycin daily at night on the lesions.
Cleanse the face with with antiseptic like cetaphil lotion.
Avoid the triggering factors like stress,oily food,sleeplessness,sunexposure, dandruff..etc
I hope this would help you.
Thanks.
