Hello
Can HPV vaccine cause acne? 
Let’s examine the contents of Gardasil. Gardasil is derived from yeast protein and also contains additives such as sodium chloride, aluminum, histidine, polysorbate and sodium borate. As Gardasil does not contain any hormones, nor have any ingredients which directly influence hormone levels and sebum production, it is unlikely that HPV vaccine directly causes acne.
You must consult a dermatologist for the treatment for your acne.
Thanks

hello,
welcome to hcm
thanks for the query
pimples problems is not due to the vaccine. it may be due to some other factors like hormonal imbalance,stress,exposure to dirt,some foods,cosmetics,drugs and finally heredity
gardasil does not contain live virus . also does not contain any components which can cause acne
so you can consult a dermatologist for it. also rule out other possible causes looking alike acne e.g folliculitis.
take care
