Blind pimple
I have many blind pimples on my cheeks. I have been using doxycycline and faceclin. The size has been reduced but the pimple isn't going. When I touch my face I can still feel bumps on that area. And when I stop this meds again it pops up at the same place.

Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it..

Acne would respond to doxycycline after 2-3 months of continuous course and depending on grade of your acne, we need to adjust your medication
Faceclin alone might not help and you might require other topical medication for the same
Just be patient as pimples are not like a fever, its more of multifactorial disorders so try to tackle it in every aspect
Next Steps
Continue this treatment regime along with some acne life style modification
you might require session of chemical peels and lasers as well along with medical grade cleaning if necessary and for that detail consultation is required
