Brief Answer:
Assessment of severity is required

Detailed Answer:
hi,
It is neccesary to asses the severity of acne before suggesting you any treatment.
Secondly, it's not an overnight cure and generally require at least minimum couple of months for acne to subside.
However, I suggest following measure to deal with it
Do not overwash the skin out of desperation as it can only damage the skin.
Use mild soap and cleanser.
Minimize stress and have adequate sleep.

Topical ointments are indicated only in every cases and needs a dermatologist check up before its use.
Can be associated with underlying depression that need to be taken care of.
My suggestion would be to see a GP, as a proper examination and assessment of severity and associated factors is needed.

thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Sorry for not able to satisfy your problem ma'am.

I have tried to give the best possible opinion, keeping safety of the patient as our utmost priority and considering the information provided by you.

A detailed information about your complaints would have helped.

In any case before prescribing drugs, as certain medication can cause cosmetic disfigurement and serious side effects, proper inspection of lesions and examination is required that warrants dermatologist consultation.

Thank you.
