Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain nasal.polyp are caused due to continue irritation of nasal mucosa like with allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, chronic upper respiratory tract infection etc..
On the other hand pimples are caused due to hormonal imbalances, oily skin, bacterial infection, inflammation, clogged pores etc..
Polyps are not seen to be a cause for Acne and you need to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you topical medication like application of Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide gel..
You can also be advised Adapelene gel at night..
You can do cool compresses over pimples..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week.
You can also be advised Oral Medication like Clindamycin, Isotretinoin and Treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling.
For nasal polyp get treated for the cause of the polyps by Otolaryngologist as well as to reduce the size of polyps Steroid nasal spray can be advised..
In case of no improvement surgical removal of polyps can be done to improve breathing by reducing congestion..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
