Hi, Revathy..
Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial skin disease.Genetic predisposition, stress, anxiety,oily food,milk,seborrhoea,dandruff etc. may exacerbate the disease. As previous experience, you start isotretinoin 10 mg daily at night and minocycline 50 mg in morning daily for 6 months or till good result. Apply clindamycine or adapalene gel daily at night. Cleanse the face with antiseptic face wash. I hope you may be improved. Please avoid krimson35.

Thanks.
