Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query pimples and black heads on the face are very common problem in teenage group, these occur due to blockage of pours of skin and blockage of sebaceous glands. Minoz as your doctor advised you is a face wash that contains salicylic acid which is comedolytic as well as decreases oil production, highly beneficial in acne. Apply epiduo cream in night keep it for an hour and wash your face. Apply dew soft moisturiser and sleep. Use specific topical treatment for acne i.e antibacterial gel like clindamycin gel or benzoyl peroxide gel for active acne during day time. At night you may use a topical retinoid such kojic acid gel over the whole affected area. Keep drinking water to rehydrate body. Your symptoms will resolve in 15 days.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
