The most probable diagnosis of the condition based on the description is acne vulgaris. You can try topical medications like clindamycin over the affected area. Topical benzoyl proxide can also be used at night time.Benzoyl peroxide containing soaps may also help.Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
