Understanding your concern. As per your query you have reoccurring acne on face which occurs when a pore in your skin gets clogged, usually with dead skin cells causing the area to become red and swollen. You can take oral tablet as well, best drug for resistant acne is isotretinoin. Apply benzoyl peroxide cream or gel for killing the bacteria in the pore.Exfoliate gently once or twice a day with a salicylic acid-based exfoliant. If condition doesn't improve in a week then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis .Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics like clindamycin , Isotretinoin or Hormone Therapy.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
