Brief Answer:
concussion and acne
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I would try to solve your queries.
Regarding head injury leading to concussion what I can say is that if there is no progressively worsening neurological problems specially headache then there is nothing to worry about. As the injury is already a year old and at present not causing any problem it requires no attention at present.
Regarding the Acnes treatment has to be done under Dermatologist advise. Till the you can use Adapalene cream locally and Tablet Azithromycin 500 1 tab daily for 6 days. This is a prescribed medication.
Hope this helps.

What i meant was could the head injury be linked to the sudden onset of acne due to membrane and fluids becoming unbalanced. He haz already been taking acne treatment as you advised for the last year with no effect at all.
Brief Answer:
Not related
Detailed Answer:
Extensive acnes require systemic therapy with oral medications. I have already suggested one.
Head injury and Acne are by no any related. Acnes are caused due to hormonal changes in the body and associated skin colonization with certain bacteria's.
