Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Acne can occur due to a number of causes like hormonal imbalances, oily skin, clogged pores, bacterial infection, inflammation etc..
I would suggest you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash, apply Benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin gels over the pimples, you can also apply Retinoid preparation like Adapelene gel at night..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
You should drink plenty of water and maintain a good Facial hygiene..
Take more of green leafy vegetables in diet..
Avoid oily food..
For scalp you can wash with shampoo containing Ketoconazole, coal tar, salicylic acid, Zinc, selenium..
Apply Steroid based lotion..
Keep scalp Dry and clean..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
