Brief Answer:
Reduce oil intake

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Pimples are blocked sebaceous glands.
These glands are concentrated on face and middle part of chest and back, hence these areas are prone to acne.
It is usually seen in oily skin.
Best way to prevent acne is to reduce oil intake in your diet and increase water and fibre rich food intake.
The lesser the oil in body the lesser will be chances of acne.
Coming to medication part, the following should help you.
1. Benzoyl peroxide 2.5 % gel in night.
2. Clindamycin 1 % gel in morning.
3. Anti acne soap such as dermadew acne for daily usage.
Use the above for at least 2 months to get good relief.
Remember acne is not a disease, it is just due to hyper active sebaceous gland, so you must modify your diet to get a prolonged relief.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
