Brief Answer:
Capsule doxycycline & nadifloxacin gel
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it looks like moderate acne.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you take capsule doxycycline 100 mg twice daily and apply nadifloxacin gel on the pimples twice daily.
Moreover use cetaphil moisturising lotion on the entire face as a regular moisturiser 2-3 times in a day.
