Hello,
Pimples are commonly due to
hormonal imbalances, you are suggested to get clinically examined for hormones, get all required tests done so that you can be treated at the earliest. Pimples and acne also occur due to
dandruff, use
selsun shampoo and keep your
scalp and hair oiled with almond or coconut oil.
Poor hygiene and wrong diet can trigger pimples. Take care of your personal hygiene, do not share your toiletries with anyone and avoid non veg food, ginger and garlic. Avoid hot, spicy food. Take vegetarian food cooked in olive oil. Take yogurt and veggies, berries, fruits , nuts in plenty. Stay well hydrated. To reduce
scars & pimples you can apply ointment
Betnovate C at bed time in the areas affected. Do not apply it in the day time because exposure in the sun will reduce its efficacy.
Apply it for 8-10 days, not more than that as it is a
steroid. Avoid makeup and cosmetics made of chemicals. You can apply herbal face mask which has neem (it is a good antibiotic) for better skin. Keep your skin clean & oil free.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
