Hi,

Most probably you may be having acne vulgaris. It is a multifactorial skin disease. There may be genetic tendency. Stress,anxiety,sleeplessness,oily skin, oily food,dandruff,drugs like steroid etc.. might cause acne. Proper care may be taken to improve the facial skin. Oilyness may be reduced by good face wash like acmed...drugs like azithromycine or minocycline may be taken in proper dose for long time. Antibiotic gel like clindamycine gel may be applied on the lesions at night. You cosult dermatologist for firm treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
