hi, welcome to HCM,
you are suffering from acne vulgaris.
take cap isotretinoin 20 mg once daily at night is drug of choice of nodulocystic acne. this drug need some blood investigation before starting medicine.
wash your face with salicylic acid 2% face wash.
apply azelaic acid 10% gel at night.
apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel at day time.
hope this will help you.
thanks
