Hi and welcome to HCM. You have acne vulgaris and it is infected, so your dermatologist has prescribed you antibiotics and it is good for you. isotretinoin is also indicated and wash your face 3 or 4 times daily with anti acne soap, eat nutritious food and your pimples will gradually subside. it definitely takes more time to subside, so dont worry. All the best.
