Hi,
You might be having oily skin.you might have tendency to develop acne.you have to avoid the factors which stimulate or exacerbate the acne lesions. Stress,anxiety and worries are important factors which should be avoided.
Oily food,ghee and milk are the other factors which should be avoided.
Dandruff if you have should be treated with ketoconazole containing shampoo.
Take minocycline cap.50 mg daily in morning and isotretinoin cap.5 mg daily at night.
Apply clindamycine or adapalene gel at night.
Cleanse the face with salicylic acid containing face wash.
You may be improve after few months. But, continue treatment till you get satisfactory result.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
