Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne since 6 years which occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide. Wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. Apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. Apply mashed potatoes on skin and wash face after 5-10 minutes. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
