Brief Answer: pimples and its treatment Detailed Answer: Hello dear, Welcome to healthcaremagic. I have read your query and understood your concern. For pimples, there are two modalities of treatment: oral and topical. I usually presribe clindamycin gel in the morning and benzoyl peroxide 2.5 % in night time over the pimples. If you get moderate to severe acne, you may need to start oral antibiotics like doxycycline, minocycline, azithromycin, retinoids. I will like to tell you that usually females get pimples around menstrual period due to hormonal changes taking place in the body. I will also advice you not to squeeze and touch the pimples else it may end up with pigmentation and scars. Avoid hair oil application and oily food in diet. Wash your face twice daily with soap and water. I hope it helps. If you have further query, you may ask me. i will be happy to help you further. Stay healthy.
