Thanks for your query .I have gone through your query .Well acne are very common problems in teens .They usually occur when skin reacts to hormonal changes specially when sebaceous glands reacts to high testosterone level in both males and females .Stress become the additional trigger factor.
Sebaceous gland start producing excess oil ,the duct of gland clogged oil start accumulating along with dead skin form acne.When these acne get infected by bacteria present on skin ,pus is produced.
As you are having puns in acne .I would suggest you to consult dermatologist ,doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics along with topical cream containing benzoyl peroxide or retinoids.There can also some abrasive technique available which your doctor can recommend in severe case .
What you can do for now is try to keep your face clean by using mild soap to keep bacteria away,apply honey for 10 mins then wash away and apply cloth soaked in cool water several times a day .Multivitamin supplement will also be beneficial.
Hope your concern has been resolved. get well soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
