Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimples on the face which is common in this age group. It is due to hormonal changes. You should exfoliate your face once a week. You should apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day as this is safe and natural extract of cereals. Wash your face with face wash containing benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin gel. Also drink 6-7 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course. Apply vitamin E before going to bed to fine texture of skin . Exfoliate your skin with non comedogenic exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
