Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us.

It seems you are having comedonal acne( whiteheads) . The same can be treated by taking low dose isotretinoin orally along with application of tretinoin or adapalene gel. Isotretinoin should always be taken under a doctor's supervision and guidance as certain precautions have to be taken while being on it. As these are prescription drugs , I would advise you to consult a dermatologist near by. You can also take few sessions of salicylic acid peels for better results.

Hope that helps.

Take care
