Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of nodular acne which could be due to stress, allergic reaction, clogged pores of skin and due to dehydration. Your doctor has prescribed you the right medicines for acne. Azithral is very effective in treating acne. Apply moisturizer contain SPF factor which will protect you from sun exposure and further damage of your skin. You should drink plenty of water , at least 8-9 glasses a day.Exfoliate your skin once a week .Take vitamin c supplement for few days for quick recovery. visit dermatologist once and get it examined and start treatment after proper prescription if symptoms keeps on persisting.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
