Hello,
I can understand your concern for pimples. Acne or pimples usually erupts at the age of 13-14 years and then almost vanishes by the age of 25 years. These erupt basically due to hormones (chemicals which are influencing one or other body functions including growth, puberty and development of body in adults) in addition to the influence of certain other factors causing its aggravation.
In my patients I suggest them to have best of diet containing lot of fruits and green vegetables to give protection to the skin.
If I were your treating doctor then would have prescribed you a gel containing Clindamycin with Adapalene in it. This should be applied at night time. It should be applied in thinnest possible amount over pimples only. For initial few days apply for 1 hour and then wash it off. You can meet a dermatologist for further guidance.
All the best.
