Hi mam.
We can understand your pain. Acne vulgaris is one of the common skin conditions that is not harmful to general health but can cause a lot of psychological stress.
The best way to go about is to consult a dermatologist in person rather than an online consult as there are different acne lesions which have different treatment approaches. Also treatment depends on patients skin type.
Taking online suggestions and treatments sometimes may cause more harm than good.
The patient is young and please take right steps towards the skin care.
Acne, treated the right way can cause very less pigmentation and scarring later on. So take care.
Usual approaches: oral medication depending on severity. Salicylic acid based face washes, skin and acne dependent night cream and acne ointments. All of these depend on the acne type and skin type
Next Steps
please have a direct consultation.
Health Tips
be careful before using any cream onto the skin. many give steroid based creams which will harm the skin in long run.
