Hi,

You sem to have acne from long time. Now the acne is adult acne and may be resistant to treatment. Avoid all factors which precipitate the acne lesions like stress,anxiety,travelling,sleeplessness,oily food etc.. Take isotretinoin 10 mg daily at night. Take minocycline 50 mg daily in morning. Apply retinoic acid gel 0.012% at night on the lesions..cleanse the face with liq containing salicylic acid. Avoid oily food.Avoid stresss and anxiety. After few moths treatment, you may feel better. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
