Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
Acne is controllable. It will be there till the influence of adolescent hormones are over. Till then we should keep the disease under check so that they do not leave any scars behind.
Wash your face with salicylic acid 2 % containing face wash. You may apply clindamycin gel in the morning and Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel at night. Get this prescribed by your dermatologist.
Eat healthy, fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A, everything with red or yellow colour. Decrease milk, milk products, sweets, sugary drinks, chocolates and fries and chips.
Do not apply anything creamy on the face. All products should be either gel or water based.
Hope this helped
Take care
