Painful acne on chin
I started having acne on my chin which are very painful and they are increasing every week, i took Antibiotics 2 days but no effect. If these are because of hormonal imbalance or changes.
Can someone please suggest some medicine ? Or any home remedies?
I googled about it and found anti androgen medicines are helpful in this.
Please suggest.

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

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 send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,
