Scientific Rx: Topical benzoyl peroxide and/or topical retinoic acid are your best friends. If you're not clear in a few weeks, your physician can add prescription-strength Rx that will work though it'll require some experimenting. Acne's unrelated to diet (mostly), hygiene, lifestyle, sex, etc. It'll remit on its own and you must manage it until then. Best wishes.

Acne: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider OTC products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). Retinoids/ comedone extractor can be helpful for black heads. If > mild acne see dermatology.
