Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query acne which occur when there are horminal changes and clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum. Need not to worry. Treatment prescribed by your doctor is correct . You shoud wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day and exfoliate your face once a week. you should apply aloe vera gel as well and drink 5-6 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
