Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Acne needs a complete treatment: home care, lifestyle change and dermatologist's treatments.

1) Start using cleansers, moisturizers and sunscreen which are non- comedogenic.

2) Change your diet and lifestyle: foods rich in vitamin B and consume at least 3-4 liters of water.

3) Do visit a dermatologist who will give you acne creams for application in the morning and at night.


Hope that helps!
