Can Azifast Be Used For Recurring Acne?

Hi,I am 20 now.I had acne problems last year my doctor suggested me Azifast 500 for 15 days then Azifast 250 for 7 days and then sotret for 2 months.This really worked.But now after one year I am having those eruptions again.I am using home remedies like sandalwood etc.I want to ask that can I use the same treatment again without consulting the doctor again?And what else can I do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Azifast can be used for acne/pimples. But better alternative is available in the topical form. You can try with below mentioned gel.
Advice
1.     Apply locally Clindoxyl gel (clindamycin + benzyl peroxide) at bed time for one month
2.     Stop applying sandalwood
3.     Use Acne aid soap three time daily for cleaning your face
4.     Do not squeeze pimples as it will cause scarring
5.     Keep pimples untouched
6.     Try to avoid use of unbranded cosmetics unnecessarily
7.     Avoid mental stress as it aggravates acne
