General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Acne is a disease of the hair follicles of the face, chest, and back that affects almost all teenagers during puberty. Acne occurs when sebaceous glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated at the time of puberty or due to other hormonal changes. Skinlite cream contains hydroquinone, tretinoin and mometasone. Tretinoin is used for treatment of acne but not hydroquinone and mometasone. Mometasone might aggravate your acne. So stop using it.
Advice
1.     Stop Skinlite cream
2.     Apply clindamycin 1% gel daily at bed time for 1month
3.     Doxycycline 50 mg daily per oral after meal for 1 month
4.     Have a good sleep of 8 hours and drink 3 – 4 liters of water daily
5.     Do not squeeze pimples as it will cause scarring
6.     Try to avoid use of unbranded cosmetics unnecessarily
7.      Have patience - any treatment of acne may take time to start showing effect
Thanks
