Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, stress can sometime cause acne on the face. This is due to altered hormone levels during a stressful period. The treatment for such pimples is same as usual. Application of ADAPALENE ointment once in the night will help you to get rid of the lesions.

Also, do practice de-stressing exercises like meditation and yoga.

Hope, I answered you query.
