Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
If you are having acne inspite of using topical medicines I would recommend you to go for oral medication as well.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of your face so that I can grade your acne and can guide you accordingly.

Brief Answer:
Management of acne

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
In such cases I recommend my patients to take tablet azithromycin 500 mg one tablet daily for 3 consecutive days in a week for 6 weeks.
This will help in resolving your acne but treatment needs to be continued for atleast 3-4 months.
You need to continue with saslic facewash, cetaphil cleansing lotion and adaferin gel.
Wish you good luck.

Brief Answer:
Azithral contains azithromycin.

Detailed Answer:
azithral contains Azithromycin. You can take it.
After 6 weeks you need to revert so that we can decide whether continuation of Azithromycin is required or not.
