Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pimples are commonly seen to occur due to causes like clogged skin pores that entrap dirt and dust,Oily skin,Hormonal Imbalances,Bacterial infection,Inflammation etc..

You should consult an Emergency room or a Skin Specialist and get evaluated so that exact cause can be ruled out..

He can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide..
Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time..
Do cool compresses over face..
Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin..
You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised
Avoid oily food and eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and fruits..
Wash your face frequently throughout the day especially when exposed to dust..
You can also go for treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
