Hello hope you are doing well 1) from your brief history, I understand that you are having truncal acne. Your doctor has given you an oral antifungal and an antibacterial coverage which is good, but I need to see a photo of your lesions, to arrive at a diagnosis and treat you specifically. 2) for a confirmed case of truncal acne, topical retinoids / oral retinoids based on the the severity works very good along with some anti acne medications. But before that we need to rule out fungal infection. 3) dandruff / pityriasis capitis is one of the main contributing factors for truncal acne and therefore should be treated if present 4) also take care an be aware about few of the reasons that causes these acne - high consumption of dairy products, meat and poultry products - cola, caffienated drinks, aerated drinks, high sugary foods - high humidity - over application of moisturizers and creams clogging the pores - excessive sebum secretion inherently. - picking/ squeezing acne, abrasive washing or frequent scrubbing. - avoid wet clothing - sun dry and iron clothes before using to prevent a potential fungal infection kindly revert back with photo for specific diagnosis and treatment thank you take care.
