Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What problem you are facing is multiple bacterial infection of skin on your face.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Cleanse the lesions everyday with antiseptic solution like Povidine-iodine solution with warm water twice daily.
2. Apply Clindamycin cream over the lesions carefully following drying.
3. Take a course of oral antibiotics containing Amoxacillin with Clavulenic acid.
4. Keep the area clean and free from dust all the time.
Your problems should subside gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
