Hello and Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I have understood your concern.
I would like to gather some more information from you in order to be able to help you better.
--Do you have any abnormality in your menstural cycles?Are they regular or irregular?
--Do you also suffer from Coarse Facial Hair?
Polycystic Ovarian disease is always a possibility that has to be ruled out in females with Acne. PCOD in females classically presents with signs of hyperandrogenism e.g Acne , Hirsutism, Hair fall, Irregular menstural cycles along with Cyst on Ultrasound.
--Specific Treatment for PCOD is with oral monthly hormonal pills/OCPs(Oral contraceptive pills) e.g Ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone acetate pills are available as a pack of 21 tablets.
If I was your treating doctor I would have asked you to use a topical antiacne gel like either clindamycin or benzoyl peroxide gel once or twice daily in addition to oral antibiotic that your already taking (Minoz -100mg)
regards
