Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face since 2 months which occurs when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You are already taking so much medicine but not get benefited. You should wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day. You should exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course as well. Also drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
