Brief Answer:
Keep it clean and moist and consider these guidelines
Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome to health care magic, I had gone through photographs you have uploaded and I really appreciate your concern.
Pimples on the face might be related to infection of sebaceous glands or obstruction in its draining ducts
In my opinion she should wash her face with antiseptic facewash or soap and keep it clean and moist.
She may apply a combination of clindamycin and adapalene cream on pimples once in the night after washing face.
She may require a course of antibiotics either oral tablet or ointment to be applied locally.
She should not keep on changing various ointments, once infection subsides it will disappear
Hope this answers your question
please feel free to ask for follow up.
Best wishes
