Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
Though your treatment seems to be fine, but Polycystic Ovarian disease(PCOD) is always a possibility that has to be ruled out in females with Acne.
I would have liked to gather some more information from you in order to be able to help you better.
--Do you have any abnormality in your menstural cycles?Are they regular or irregular?
--Do you also suffer from Coarse Facial Hair?
--Have you ever got any blood tests for Hormones? e.g Serum testosterone, Serum DHEAS, Serum LH, Serum FSH etc? If yes, what were the test results.
PCOD in females classically presents with signs of hyperandrogenism e.g Acne , Hirsutism, Hair fall, Irregular menstural cycles along with Cyst on Ultrasound.
Specific Treatment for PCOD is with oral monthly hormonal pills/OCPs(Oral contraceptive pills) e.g Ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone acetate pills are available as a pack of 21 tablets.
