Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have symptoms of acne despite taking Niacine and Dalacine T which occurs when skin pores gets clogged, usually with dead skin cells. Sometimes bacteria get trapped inside the pore, too, causing the area to become red and swollen. I Would suggest you to exfoliate gently once or twice a day with a salicylic acid-based exfoliant. Apply benzoyl peroxide cream or gel for killing the bacteria in the pore .Wash your face using a mild soap or cleanser and lukewarm water. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. If condition doesn't improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis .Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics like clindamycin , Isotretinoin or Hormone Therapy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
