Hello,

I can understand your concern for pimples. Acne or pimples are common to occur by the age of 23 years and so do for you. Pimple arises due to multiple causes but basically due to hormones.

IN my patients I use clindamycin gel over the affected area for twice a day on the pimples. If at all the pimples are not reducing with this gel then I go for antibiotics such as doxycycline or azithromycin as per required dose. In my patients I also suggest to not to pinch, pop or squeeze any area on face. Do not apply any creamy or oily stuff or any other cosmetics over face.

Do not apply any other medicated cream without medical supervision. Avoid situations of direct continuous exposure to sunlight or heat and humidity for long hours. Do not try to pinch or pop the area as it may lead to formation of spots.

It may take few weeks to recover form the condition so have patience.

All the best.
