Brief Answer:
Oral antibiotics can help

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have go ne through the attached images.

This possibly looks like seborrheic dematitis rash.

It's very important to avoid oily foods and drink plenty of water .Regular physical exercises and fruit juices will also help.

Simultaneously, its important to treat dandruff of the hair.

I generally prescribe antifungal hair lotion called Candid TV to my patients with these symptoms.Apply it overnight and wash it next day.

Likewise, for acne I prescribe oral pills of Doxycycline for 14 days for effective control.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you

One pill of Doxycycline has to be taken twice a day after meal for 14 days.

Brief Answer:
Overnight is advisable initially.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

It's advisable to keep it overnight(8hrs) for first 5 washes.

Later a contact period of 3 hours is suggested for subsequent washes.

5 min as suggested on bottle label is hardly effective.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
