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 call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

you have severe acne. will need prolonged therapy and regular followup. just one time free online advice wouldn't be enough. consult with a doctor- online or directly and maintain regular followup and you will need to follow treatment properly and regularly. The treatment has to be continued for a few months otherwise the pimples would tend to return easily. Kindly do not self medicate without professional advice as that could further damage your skin. You should send me images through private online consult for a better assessment of the problem and approaching it accordingly. Hope this is helpful.
