Acne not getting cure
Acne not getting cure from face and have oily skin. When one or two acne disappear, again new one will come out on another place and this keeps repeating. It's been almost a year.
Used face wash daily morning and evening. Never pop acne with fingers nails or never did try to remove acne forcefully but let itself to dry. However, new acne come out one after another on different spots.
Drank lot of water thinking it would cure acne but it seems it doesn't work. Did not take any medication for this. Never consulted doctor earlier. Not sure what will be the solution.
Have used separate clean clothes to wipe face after wash. Never used dirty pillow covers. But used to touch acne often.

Acne may not be due to external environment in your case but your own oily skin. Drinking lots of water may not prevent acne , still it keeps your skin hydrated so continue good intake. You will require a good skin care regimen to control repeated acne . Take online consultation for the same

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,
