Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per you query you have pimples on face which is because of sebaceous gland under the hair follicle , when sebum get accumulated in clogged duct of sebaceous gland along with dead skin and bacteria they produce acne. You are already taking lots of medication for the same and its still reoccuring. I would suggest you to wash you face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your face. Don't pick or touch acne. Apply kojic acid cream on face. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. You can continue that medication as well for short term usage. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes doctor may also prescribe antibiotics.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
