Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful acne on cheeks, jawline, forehead and in between eye brows which shows severe infection known as cystic acne. Benzoyl gel and Ceftum is a good combination, you should avoid it for long term usage. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe laser therapy and chemical peeling as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
