Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne is very common problem in teens. Basically root cause of acne is exposure to sun and pollutants as sebaceous gland under the hair follicle , when sebum get accumulated in clogged duct of sebaceous gland along with dead skin and bacteria they produce acne. I would suggest you to Wash you face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your face. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination.Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes doctor may also prescribe antibiotics. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Don't pick or touch acne.Eat fresh fruits and vegetables ,also drink plenty of water.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
