hello,
thanks for using just answer.
i will be glad to be of assistance.
hope you have not been picking up on any of the lesions as that will lead to deep scars and pigmentation.
you need to follow a routine of cleansing, sunscreen , creams daily.
cleanse your face with cetaphil cleansing lotion for acne prone skin thrice daily.
sunscreen needs to be used daily , neutrogena would be a good choice.
this regimen will be good to prevent acne, however to treat acne you need to atleast apply one anti acne cream.
i suggest you use nadifloxacin cream twice a day on the acne. that should be helpful. using steroids for acne is not recommended, it can lead to a flare in acne.
please let me know your queries.
regards
