Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photograph.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to use a salicylic acid facewash twice daily and apply adapelene 0.1 gel on the pimples at night.
Also take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily at bedtime for 6 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
Besides this avoid oily creams, avoid oiling of scalp, reduce the intake of sugary foods and avoid cosmetics.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
