Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe facial acne which occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. You should wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. you should apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. Also drink 5-6 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-abrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course. Apply Clindamycin gel and Benzoyl peroxide containing gel over the acne. Avoid any steroid based cream and apply kojic acid containing cream over face twice a day.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
