Hi,
Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial skin disease. There are many forms of disease..like comedones,inflammatory,conglobet,cystic..etc. there may triggering factors like stress,anxiety,sleeplessness,hormonal influence,genetic base,drugs like steroids,pills..etc kindly consult dermatologist for the perfect treatment. I would suggest....
- antibiotics like azithromycin or minocycline
- isotretinoin in low dose
- clindamycine gel
- ketoconazole shampoo for dandruff
Continue treatment for the long time. Have patience..
Thanks.
