Hi, Koyel
Thanks for posting your query

Acne occurs due to multiple factors like increased oil production due to hormonal changes, Bacterial proliferation, blockage of pores and stress.It continues till thirties or even more. It cannot be cured but it can be supressed with treatment

Azifast 500 can be used . In addition you may do the following:

Apply clinamycin and benzoyl peroxide combination cream twice a day
Use salicylic face wash
Get black heads and white heads extracted from time to time
Use noncomedogenic sunscreen during the day
Avoid stress

Hope this helps you
All the Best
