Hello niharika For your scalp I would suggest you to use shampoo salicylic acid 5 percent And use Zinc pyrithione shampoo alternatively Massage shampoo 3-5 min before rinsing
Avoid conditioner or apply only on tip of your hair not on your scalp
Apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent ointment only on acne or u can your clindamycin ointment
Try washing your face twice daily with cleanser Moisturizer which should light on your face Never touch your forehead with dirty or unwashed hands
Take tab Azithromycin 500 mg in afternoon after meal for 5 days Follow up if you have relief
