For 15-year-old adolescents with acne, facial cleansing is essential. Use a gentle facial cleanser or sulfur soap to minimize skin irritation. Additionally, maintain a regular sleep schedule—avoid staying up late—and avoid spicy or irritating foods. If the condition does not improve, consult a dermatologist at a reputable local hospital for pharmacological treatment, such as clindamycin phosphate solution or benzoyl peroxide ointment.
