Within a month, my face got filled with acne. Not able to figure out if it is due to allergy or some reaction. I used Benzoyl Peroxide anti acne cream but no relief. Usually my face would have acne on the right cheek all the time. Now it has spread over to my whole face. I am feeling terribly stressed and under confident. In 28 years, I never had this kind of acne. It doesn't even run in my face. Kindly help.

Acne that is pimples need to be treated according to the severity of the condition. If it is severe, we need to start medication to prevent permanent scarring. We also need to check the hormonal status in females which may be the root cause of acne. Some dietary modifications also help. Please contact me via the online consult option.

Right side acne could be because of sleeping and pillow hygiene, or even repeated phone use. As for whether it is acne or an allergy, we'd have to see pictures. Don't worry, acne is completely treatable along with some lifestyle changes
