Then, apply anti-acne treatment like salicylic acid serum or azelaic acid cream to combat the inflammation while unclogging your pores.

Kill the bacteria. You can start with topical antibiotics spot treatment. Topical antibiotic destroys the acne-causing bacteria that are trapped within the follicle causing inflammation.
