Hi. Greetings . please see a qualified dermatologist near you. Even if you have dry skin and need moisturiser, some moisturizers will worsen or trigger acne. So please seek advise from a qualified specialist. You'll need benzoyl peroxide based face wash and also oral short course treatment may b necessary for out breaks. Hope this helps. Further queries may be sent with pics of lesions on follow up chat. Dr Govind Suresh Mittal.
