Hello,
As per your case history of acne, my treatment advice is -
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a clindamycin gel like Glocin twice daily on affected skin.
3. Other treatment options are oral doxycyline, minocycline and isotretinoin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
