Hello young lady,

Welcome to the forum.

Acne or pimples in most of teenage people starts appearing at the age of 13-14 years and then almost vanishes by the age of 25-30 years. The main cause of pimple formation is basically due to hormones (chemicals which are influencing one or other body functions) in addition to the influence of certain other factors causing its aggravation.

A gel containing adapalene or clindamycin can be applied and oral therapy can be taken for the treatment of pimples.

It would be best if you can take direction of a dermatologist for application of all these creams and accordingly a proper follow up can be maintained.
My best wishes for healthy and glowing skin.
