Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
Acne is a chronic problem and keeps keep coming if treatment is not taken properly.
Face wash and other over the counter treatment is not a permanent solution and not going to help you anymore.
Also the bumps experiences during shaving might be Pseudofolliculitis which happens due to ingrown hairs esp. in beard areas.
A course of topical and oral antibiotic with Isotretinoin under strict dermatological guidance is a must in such cases. This treatment usually lasts from 3 to 6 months.
Also I suggest to avoid other creams, lotions and oils as they might precipitate things than good.

If you have further queries please clarify with me.

Regards,
Dr. Rohit Batra.
