Hi,

It seems that you are having acne vulgaris. It is a multifactorial disease. It may be precipitated or excerbated by factors like stress,anxiety,oily food,excessive sun exposure,exercise,travelling,sleeplessness,drugs like steroids...etc. you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment.

However, I would suggest as follow...

- antibiotic like minocycline 50 once a day
- isotretinoin 5 mg daily at night
- application of clindamycine gel on the lesions at night daily
- cleansing the face with antiseptic lotion like cetaphil thrice a day
- avoidance of triggering factors

I hope this would help you.

Thanks.
