Hello my Friend
Thanks for your question on HCM

There are some different treatment for your problem like:
1.Benzoyl peroxide is generally safe and effective as monotherapy or when used in topical combination products for mild acne (level A)
2.Topical retinoids may be used either as monotherapy or in combination with other products and in therapeutic regimens for all types and severities of acne in children and adolescents of all ages (level A)
3.Oral antibiotics may be used for moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne for any age (except for tetracycline in children
Hormonal therapy with combination oral contraceptives may be used as second-line therapy in pubertal females with moderate-to-severe acne (level A)
4.Isotretinoin is recommended for severe, scarring, and/or refractory acne in adolescents (level A)

I know very well how do you feel because i had them to.But i resolved my problem in this way:
Start to clean your face with soap in the morning with worm water ,than apply Benzoyl peroxide gel 5 % on area that is problematic.Let it for 3-4 minutes and wash only with water again your face.
Do this procedure even in evening too
I say to be really regular because this will last for a long time until that moment you will not have to concern.Maybe for 3-6 months it depends on how difficult it is infection

Hope this information is helpful to you
Best regards
I find this answer helpful
