Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have facial acne which is due to hormonal changes , stress , oily skin and side-effect of medications. Minoz has side effects like skin eruptions, nausea, vomiting, loose motions, headache, photo-sensitivity. I would suggest you to discontinue that medication for sometime. Wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide then apply cream containing azelaic acid which is safe and very effective. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Doctor may prescribe retinoid ointment and antibiotic like clindamycin and you can go for laser therapy and chemical peeling as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
