Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

I need to have a look at your photo so that I am better able to help you. I also need more details about the acne-whether they have pus, have you tried anything on them, do you have any medical condition etc.

There can be lot of reasons as to why you are getting acne. It can be either hormonal disturbances or a wrong selection of soap, moisturizer, oily face, dust, etc.

There are various antibiotics like benzoyl peroxide available which specially work on acne. These antibiotic creams are to be applied specifically on the acne and not on normal skin. If these do not work then you can try oral antibiotics like a combination of cefixime and oofloxacin. If this does not work then you need to go for hormonal assessment and get treated by hormonal medicines.

All this requires a proper consultation by a dermatologist.

Hope it helps. Let e know if I can assist you further.
