hello,
thank you for using health care magic,
relax ,after acne treatment some initial flare up is normal.. it will go away eventually and you will see improvement ..this initial flare up is because of irritant effect of gel which you are applying on face but it will go away so do not stop using medication..its normal..
you can take tablet doxycyclin 100 mg once a day for one month, tablet isotretinoine 10 mg once a day ..you didnt mentioned which topical application you are using .. you can use clindamycin gel,benzyle peroxide or adapalene ..
beside medication you need to change your diet..avoid oily, spicy and fatty food..avoid pollution..
if there are marks on your face because of pimple you can use kojic acid or glycolic acid.. you can also take chemical peeling.. consult dermatologist..
hope this helps you,
take care..

hi,
acne change with hormonal variation, so i am not sure as you have not mentioned gender and age. regular washing (3-4 times a day) of face with acnil soap, would help. along with that an antibiotic azithromycin 200 mg alternate day for 4 weeks would help.
wish you good health.
