Suggest Remedy For Pimples

Hi I m 14 and have had a lot of pimples starting from when I was about 8. I hit puberty earlier than my friends and as a result I had a lot of pimples...I decided to leave it for a year until I spoke to my doctor and he gave me an acne medication called tetralysal but I have heard that it stunts your growth,is this true?
