I'm 26 years old female, my skin type is oily to acne prone and in the past i've used� steroid cream in the year 2017 for quite a long time� (14 months) and because if it i'm photosensitive and the balance of my skin is disrupted but my skin calmed down after a year and the only problem I faced was occasional blackheads on my cheeks which used to go away on their own accord but from the past 6 months i'm suffering from some kind of acne� which is appearing in the form of tiniest pimples (whiteheads) which are spreading all over my face in bunches and are quickly becoming blackheads deep embedded in my skin and later are turning into pustules, I can feel pimples in every pore of my face and infection just beneath the surface. If I touch them, they feel like needles poking hole in my skin which is almost true considering the large pores/holes on my skin if I try to remove the blackhead, i've tried 'n' number of things from high end products to home remedies but it's getting worse each day. If I try to clean/remove it they are coming back with vengeance. I visited a dermatologist last week and she diagnosed me with acne vulgaris and suggested supatret gel (every night for 10 days), venusia cream, acnerex facewash, doxycycline tablets and peelite gel (once in a week for 10 mins). It's been a week since I started using these products but my acne is becoming worse (lots of blackheads all over my face) and my skin even more sensitive. Please suggest something.
