Severe acne at this age needs proper evaluation and timely care to avoid scarring. Over-the-counter products or home remedies won’t be enough.
A proper evaluation is required before suggesting any treatment plan
Next Steps
✔️ Use a gentle cleanser and avoid scrubbing/picking pimples
✔️ Keep face clean, avoid oily creams, and use non-comedogenic products
✔️ Maintain balanced diet and hydrate well
✔️ Please consult with me online for a personalized treatment plan (topical + oral if needed)
Health Tips
Do not start any medication on your own—these require medical supervision.

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.

I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed
