Your dermatologist is treating your disorder very well, will ask you to keep trust in him / her and continue "as per their instructions" If you are unable to consult him / her for logistic reasons, you can reach out to me or any other dermatologist here Your question cannot be answered unless your case, Examination and files are analysed

Treatment depends on the grade...Acne or  pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please  send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
