Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on face which is because hormonal change at particular age, stress and due to blocking of skin pores with dust particles and dead bacteria. Need not to worry. I would suggest you take isoprepinoin capsules only for short term usage as long term use can give adverse effects. Don't pick up acne as it will leave scars on face. Apply benzoyl gel as well. Use sun screen cream rich in spf 30 such as TAN CARE. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once. Dermabrasion, Fractional CO2 Laser, Chemical peeling, Miocroabrasion are all recent methods of skin clearing. Apply creams rich in kojic acid.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
