Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr. kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.

I suggest you to use topical benzoyl peroxide gel, 2.5%, 3.5% or 4%, twice daily.

In addition I suggest oral antibiotic e.g either Doxycycline 100mg or Minocycline 100mg, once or twice a day for a few weeks 4-12 weeks (depending on the severity).

These are prescription medications and I suggest you to talk to your local practitioner regarding the same.
