doxycycline 100mg bd for 1 month is effective. In addition, you can try topical retinoid to reduce scaring.

Severity and type of acne                   Recommended treatment

Mild acne                                           Topical retinoid at night plus
   <30 lesions                                      BP/clindamycin or
                                                        BP/erythromycin in the
                                                        morning. Consider OC.

How do you find this forum by the way?
This forum is meant for discussion. Not a place for medical consultation
Anyway, the regime that you found on google is similar to what our member drjoe has suggested. retinoid is to reduce scarring any clindamycin like doxycycline is an antibiotic to overcome the infection

I agree to the admin. We are here to discuss anything about health. Nice to see you. Facial washer? I don't think so.

Your sebaceous gland might be working excessively.  It also has to do something with your hormones.  Acne can cause facial scarring and it can't be treated by creams alone.  It should be penetrated deeply to the dermis, lasers now a days is one of the remedy.
