How Can Acne On The Face Be Treated?

I am 23 years old, height 5.4, weight 60 kg, I am suffering from acne problem. actually my skin was OK a few years back. I have a cyst in my underarm, so I took ayurvedic medicine for it. Since the medicine was meant to melt the cyst, it also effected my body. I am allergic to dry fruits, chocolates, coffee, too much of tea. I mean these end up causing pimples on my face. I have stopped taking that medicine. but my face has still got pimples and their marks. Please help me to get rid of this problem?

Dermatologist 's  Response
hi, welcome to HCM,
acne occured after taking ayurvedic medicine, might be due to steroid added in it.
inspite of ayurvedic treatment, you are in age group of acne.
take Cap Isotretinoin 20 mg one cap daily at night for 2 mths.
be sure your serum lipid profile is normal before starting this drug.
wash your face with face wash containing 2% salicylic acid.
apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel twice daily.
this will control your acne.
thanks
