Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HCM.

Pimples are simple youth related problem which appears by the start of puberty and continues till the age of 25 years. It varies from person to person in its grade and severity.
In your case it appears that your wife has grade III pimples. These pimples need proper course of treatment in form of oral and topical therapy. This is needed for a long period of time. You please meet a proper dermatologist who can guide you properly for the best treatment suggested. Have a good follow up and patience to see good results.
With good health wishes.
