Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have gone through your query and I have understood it.
Acne is quite common at your age. It is not a serious condition.
I would suggest that you use benzoyl peroxide cream e.g brevoxyl 4% cream twice daily for acne.
If your acne is inflammatory i.e if you have red papule and, pustules then I would also suggest an oral antibiotic e.g doxycycline capsules, twice daily.
These are prescription medications and you must take them under supervision of a dermatologist in your vicinity.
