Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic You seem to have a flare-up of inflammatory acne. If I was the treating doctor I would have certainly started you on oral antibiotics like either Doxycycline Or Azithromycin or Minocycline for the inflammatory flare. Oral antibiotics are antibacterial as well as antiinflammatory in action and bring about faster control of inflammatory acne. Topically, i usually ask my patients with an acne flare, to use either topical clindamycin Or topical bennzoyl peroxide gel. Both of these are usually effective in inflammatory acne on account of being antibacterial and antiinflammatory. I would suggest that you visit a dermatologist in your region. Your dermatologist will be able to assess the severity of your acne and prescribe accordingly. You may also opt for a few sessions of chemical peeling for acne. Salicylic acid chemical peel is good for acne and can be used along with topical treatment for faster improvements. Regards
