Hi,
You said you developed acne lesions on face and back. You have taken treatment for it. But,now your acne lesions recur even after treatment.. I can understand your worries for acne.
Stress, anxiety, sleeplessness,drugs like steroids,oil food,dandruff..etc might exacerbate the disease. Please avoid all triggering factors.
But, you have to take treatment for long time to have good response.
You consult dermatologist.
He might give antibiotic like azithromycine 500 mg thrice a week for few months. Low dose of isotretinoin 5 mg may be advised daily at night.
And he might advise to apply clindamycine gel in morning and adapalene gel at night. And to cleanse the face with antiseptic like acmed face wash.
Have pateince for the result. It may take few months for the good result. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
