Hi
You seem to be developing acne over the face.
You might need regular treatmamt in the form of a topical anti acne agent like clindamycin cream twice a day .
In addition, sometimes oral antibiotics are also required.
Avoid using any oils or creams over the face.
Use a salicylic acid based face wash twice a day .
Avoid using hair oil.
Wash the face frequently .
Avoid eating nuts.
Hope it helps
