Hi,
It seems that you are having acne vugaris,acne pustulosa and acne cystica.
Avoid stress,worries and oily food.
Take proper sleep.
Medical therapy include azithromycine 500 mg daily in morning and isotretinoin 5 mg daily at night for few months or till you get good result.
Clindamycine gel may be applied on active lesions.
Intra cystic steroid injection may be taken in cysts.
For that you consult dermatologist.
Cleanse the face with antiseptic face wash.
You may feel better after few months.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
