Thank you for putting your query.
Most of the time azithromycin or doxycycline is not that effective for acne.acnes will recur after discontinuing it.there are many other good alternatives like isotretinoin for 6 weeks, which has revolutionised the management of acne.there are some side effects of this drug, so take this only under guidance of your doctor.you can continue your topical gels and face wash.
Avoid using oily foods.
Take care.best wishes.
