Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per you query you have symptoms of acne like lesions on the face. Need not to worry. 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. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide, azelaic acid or retinoids. Don't pick or touch acne. Apply kojic acid cream on face.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
