Hi,

Do not use Dermovate treatment for long time as it contain steroid and cause skin thinning. It should be used at last option. Pimples could be due to causes inflammation, hormonal imbalance, pore clogging, oily and dry skin, bacterial infection, sun exposure.

Consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor will give following advises:

- Application of ointment containing salicyclic acid/clindamycin and benzyle peroxide
- Application of retinoids at bed time in thin layer also useful
- Use exfoliative face wash, two times a week
- Avoid oily/fatty/spicy food
- Drink plenty of water, eat healthy diet with green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits
- Do regular exercise to maintain body weight
- Microdermabrtion and chemical peeling can be useful in unresponsive cases

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
