Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have long-lasting and recurring pimple on face. Well pimples are the result of excessive production of sebum from sebaceous gland. There are many factors responsible for pimples like hormonal changes ,too much oily creams ,some medications and environmental factors. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to use benzoyl peroxide lotion twice a day after wash your face with mild soap. You should apply tea tree oil on face. Apply ice for 5 minutes on affected area thrice a day. You can also take oral antibiotics along with it like tetracycline. If pimples persists or doesn't improve in one month ,consult dermatologist and start treatment after proper examination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
