Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne which is very common problem in teens. Basically root cause of acne is sebaceous gland under the hair follicle , when sebum get accumulated in clogged duct of sebaceous gland along with dead skin and bacteria they produce acne. I would suggest you to Wash you face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your face. You should not go for Soret 10 mg unless you have proper prescription for the same. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Don't pick or touch acne.Eat fresh fruits and vegetables ,also drink plenty of water. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination .Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
