Have Acne On Face. Have Thyroid And On Thyronorm 75. Treatment?

I am 30, female, married having Thyroid since last 6 years. I am on Thyronorm 75 till date. Suddenly I have developed an acne problem on my face. I had it previously but last few months they had completely disappeared without any trace or mark. Now they are back and look more like red boils clustered together below the hairline on the left side of my forehead and then more two of a kind on my left cheek. I am quite disturbed about my ordinary looks as I look ugly now.. :(

hi.thank for your query.
acne can present in several forms and several distributions on face and body.This includes whiteheads, blackheads, and red, inflammed patches of skin (such as cysts).In the course of evolution, you may have any or all of these.This is based on the various internal hormonal stimuli as well, which can change several times. Do not use heavy/thick creams ..Use only gel based moisturizers/ sunscreen for regular use.U can use a cleanser containing Salicylic acid/ Glycolic acid on a regular basis. you can start using topical clindamycin gel twice daily on the eruptions.Oral antibiotics may be required to achieve a better control.
You can start taking Salicylic acid peels from a qualified dermatologist to achieve a better control of your acne.These are safe and latest methods whereby you can achieve a better control, but not be perturbed by the side -effects of long term antibiotic therapies.
Also acne is a very recurrent condition,as you see...It is essential to maintain yourself on a control by doing frequent followups with your doctor and changing meds as and when required.
