Hello,
It looks like you have oily skin texture. Oily skin often causes the pores to get clogged causing pimples on the face & other parts of the body.
It can also occur due to allergy to certain irritants. Sometimes, shaving of the knees or the legs causes irritation of the hair follicles causing pimples on the skin around the knees or the legs.
Stay away from stress & avoid taking oily junk food, take care of your hygiene. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing's.
You can apply Neosporin or Betnovate ointment locally on the area affected by the pimples on your skin. Do not scratch or pick. Take regular showers.
Avoid too much exposure to the sun.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
