Acne at this age is usually due to some underlying hormonal problems.. get an ultrasonography of lower abdomen done to rule out polycystic ovarian disease as it is the most common underlying problem that leads to acne at this age. Consult a dermatologist for further management

Greetings. Acne can occur due to a variety of reasons and it's advisable to see a qualified dermatologist near you for detailed evaluation and treatment. Hormonal disturbances can often cause acne. Pollution, stress and unhealthy diet can worsen acne. Use a salicylic acid based face wash also you'll need a topical retinoid cream. Hpe this helps. Warm regards
