Hello,

I can understand your concern for the acne in yourself. Acne basically occurs due to the influence of hormones and related factors. In your case as we can find that you have has cystic acne so it is quite important to take a proper course of therapy. In your case as you are married too so you need to take safer medications.
In my patients with your kind of condition I prefer to give a pulse dose of azithromycin with topical application of benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid gel in different concentrations. You can take further guidance from a dermatologist.
All the best.
