Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne and redness on face since 8 years which is due to which there is allergy all over face and redness and it occurs whens skin pores becomes clogged and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected.. Need not to worry. You should exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin from your face. Apply betnovate on acne twice a day for 2-3 days. You should apply kojivit cream on these acne. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. You should go for blood tests to find any kidney related systemic pathology. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isoteritenoin. You can go for laser therapy as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
