Hi,
Redness and itching are associated with acne vulgaris. But all the conditions causing redness and itching is not acne. Hope you understand what I am saying.
You are very young and you need right guidance to skin care and proper treatment to your condition.
Please go and consult a dermatologist directly rather than an online consult. This will help the doctor to get an exact picture of the condition and you can get accurate treatment.
