I've been struggling with really bad acne on my face, shoulders, and back for nearly a decade now. A doctor recently told me to take Azithromycin 250 tablets and use BETNOVATEN with Betamethasone and Neomycin, but I haven't noticed any changes. Could you please suggest what I should do next or if there's anything else I should try?

it seems like acne vulgaris which is aggressive,and as azithromycin is not working on you have to switch to other group of drugs, no need to worry visit yuour dermatologist for alternate approach,consume balanced diet and more fruits for a better result,personal hygiene is important.
