Brief Answer:
Management of acne

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and you are having moderate acne.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime and apply adapelene 0.1 percent gel on the pimples at night.
Along with this apply cream containing kojic acid on the black spots twice daily and use a salicylic acid facewash twice daily.
This needs to be continued for 6-8 weeks but under the supervision of the doctor.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Besides this keep your face dry, avoid oiling of scalp, use cosmetics labelled as noncomedogenic and reduce the intake of sugary foods.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
