Hello,

As per your complaint, pimples can occur due to causes like:
- Clogged pores
- Oily skin
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Bacterial infection
- Inflammation
- Excess sun exposure et cetera

The medication advised to you is appropriate and you should continue the same. You should also wash your face with Salicylic acid facewash.

Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time, do cool compresses over face. Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin. You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun.

Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised, and avoid oily food. You can also go for treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
