Treatment depends on the grade...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..

Oral isotretinoin will work better. Also, if u can take TCA or salicylic peels for back, it will resolve faster.
