Suggest Remedy To Get Rid Of Cluster Of Pimples On Cheek

I have a cluster of pimples on the top of my cheek that will not respond to salicylic treatment. I have had them for two months. It is only on one side of my face and I don't think it has anything to do with my make-up or hair products. I am 28, 5'6" and have no history of acne on my face.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cluster of pimples on cheek which occur because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and clogging of dead skin and bacteria leads to formation of pus in that and due to impaired immunity of body. I would suggest you to:

-Wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is good for pimples

-Apply clindamycin gel at night time.

-You should drink plenty of fluids and avoid oily, sharp and greasy food.

If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
