Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face since 8 years which occur when there is hormonal changes, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Need not to worry. You can start with use of Isotretinoin as it is very safe to use without giving any side effects. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid oily and fried food and make use of product containing benzoyl peroxide. You should apply betnovate cream twice daily. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and can also go for chemical peel containing Glycolic acid. Take Multivitamin supplements. Drink plenty of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Apply Adapelene gel once at night.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
