Acne on the face is often due to excess oil, clogged pores or hormonal changes. Wash your face gently twice daily and avoid touching or picking the pimples. Use light, non-greasy products that do not block pores and keep your skin clean. Maintain a balanced diet and manage stress, as these can affect acne. Consult your doctor if it is severe or not improving.

Your symptoms are likely common side effects of acne medications, especially those containing potent retinoids or exfoliating agents. You should temporarily stop using these medications, apply a gentle moisturiser, avoid other harsh skincare products, and use a mild lip balm. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for a review of your treatment.
