Hi
You seem to have developed moderate to severe acne over face .
It needs to managed by application of anti acne agents along right oral drugs .
Avoid application of cold cream or oil over face since it might aggravate the lesions .
Use a medicated sunscreen with spf more than 26 regularly before going out in the sun .Apply it atleast thirty minutes before going out and re apply every three hourly.
See your nearby dermatologist for proper assessment and treatment .
