Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting us with your health concerns
These pimples are most likely due to duphaston which is common and usually are fine after stopping the drug
Dryness is most likely because of your skin texture or may be related to weather
Apply vitamin E and aloe Vera based moisturiser daily at least twice a day after washing your face.
Take care
