Hi Priyanka.. As you said you have acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease. There may be genetic tendency. Stress,anxiety,tension,sleeplessness,excessive sun exposure, drugs like steroid,oral pills and INH,hormonal imbalance, cosmetics..etc may stimulate or excerbate the disease. I usually advise in my patients having such problem as below.. - antibiotics like minocycline cap 50 mg daily in morning - retinoid like isotretinoin cap 5 mg or 10 mg daily at night - application of clindamycine gel on lesions in morning - application of tretinoin gel 0.012 on the lesions at night - cleanse the face withantiseptic like cetaphil lotion - avoid to apply moisturise cream or lotion. Take care to avoid factors,which are responsible to exacerbate the lesions. Regular treatment might improve your disease. But remember to take treatment after consulting the dermatologist. Thanks.
