Hello dear,

Pimples are caused due to a combination of 4 factors:
1. Increased production of sebum from sebaceous glands in the skin
2. Increase proliferation of cells & blockage of these glands
3. Inflammation.
4. Bacterial infection.

Management involves:
1. Isotretinoin- it reduces the proliferation of cells in the sebaceous gland & decreases the production of sebum.
2. Antibiotics such as Mupirocin, which provides antibiotic cover against bacterial infection.

Also you need to avoid oily foods, drink lots of water & clean your face with an oil free cleanser three times a day for reduction of pimples.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
