Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM.
Did you take any medication prescribed by doctors for acne? If not I would I advice you the following
Wash your face with cetaphil cleanser twice daily.
Take tab.doxycycline 100mg once daily for 30 days.
Apply clindamycin cream 1% daily morning. Apply benzyl peroxide 2.5% daily before bed.
Avoid chocolate, oily food and fried food. Drink lot of water or juice (lemon/melon).
If symptoms persists I would advice you to review with more detailed history for further assessment and treatment.
Regards.
