Dermatologist,  's  Response
Acne is a very common condition and affect almost everybody atleast once in life
First of all a BIG NO to pick or squeeze pimples,,, it will accentuate the problem

Mild cleansers: Washing once or twice a day to maintain a good hygiene

Use exfoliating cleansers which contain salicylic acid, glycolic or alpha hydroxy acids in an appropriate concentration that makes it a very mild peeling agent. These products remove the outer layer of the skin and thus open pores.

Avoid pizza, greasy and fried foods, and junk food and high glycaemic diet as they may make your acne worse

Use water based cosmetics,if required and make sure to remove it before going to bed

Apply a gel or cream containing 5% benzoyl peroxide; an alternative is sulfur, adapelene or retinol A.

For moderate acne you should take an antibiotic course like tab Doxy 100mg twicw BD (if not allergic) or lemecycline 408 mg once a day for 2-3 weeks

Remember acne is a treatable condition but one should start its treatment early to prevent scarring..

thanks
