Hello Mr. XXXXXXX
The symptoms you mentioned are indicating that you are suffering from acne vulgaris. It occurs due to increased level of hormones like testosterone, and its derivatives. It is most common for puberty.
But for confirmation of diagnosis you have to consult with a dermatologist.
The treatment of acne vulgaris includes following
1. Thorough face wash regularly.
2. Benzoyl peroxide group of drugs should be used locally.
3. Oral antibiotics like azithromycin group of drugs are used for infective etiology.
4. Topical or systemic steroids are also indicated in refractory condition.
5. Isotretinoins are used either locally or systemically for these lesions.
6. Other newer treatment modalities are also very satisfactory in this condition. Among these some laser therapy are most promising.
So, you should consult with a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis by physical examination and choosing specific agents among the abovementioned treatment modalities.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know if you have any more question.
Regards.
