Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
The pimples occur due to clogged pores of sebaceous glands . Dead skin and bacteria also play role .They can be easily treatable if follow right methode .
So i would suggest you to :-
- Wash your face with cold water and with soft soap twice daily,
- Exfoliation is very important as it remove dead skin . so do it once a week.
- Apply ointment containing salicylic acid .
- Wash your face with facewash containing benzoyl peroxide.
- Apply honey mix with turmeric powder on pimple at night.
If condition doesn't get better in 10 days then consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and rule out infection. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics or steroid ointment .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
