Hello..
First of all stop eating all the bakery products, and oily food for some time.
do not touch it or try to burst it.
Acne is not dangerous, but can leave skin scars if u do that.
Wash your face about twice to thrice each day. Do not wash it more often.
Do not use any soap for some time atleast.
Too much sun can cause your skin to produce more sebum. Several acne medications make it more likely that you will be sunburned.
mental stress can affect your levels of some hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline, which in turn can make acne worse. So try to relax, go for a walk or do yoga.
Lastly u can ask ur dermatologist to start up some antibiotics.
Or else you can try up for Homoeopathy which is safer and free of side effects!!
