Hi,

As per your complain pimples can occur due to causes like Clogged pores, oily skin, hormonal Imbalances, bacterial infection. You should consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing face wash.

Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide. Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time. Do cool compresses over face. Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin.

You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun. Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised. Avoid oily food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
Dentist
