You seem to have truncal acne, which is usually more resistant to treatment and more prone to scarring.
The condition can be controlled by certain topical medicines and some particular oral antibiotics. If you have any dandruff, that should also be treated. If you oil your scalp or hair, it should be stopped.
You will be required make some dietary changes as well.
As treatment varies depending upon the grade and severity of your acne, you can share photographs of the same with me via direct online consultation.
Next Steps
Consult a certified dermatologist.
