Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per you query you have acne on face and root cause of acne is 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. Apply apple cider vinegar then wash with warm water twice daily. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes docotr may also prescribe antibiotics. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. Don't pick or touch acne.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
