What Causes Acne And Pimples All Over My Face?

I shifted to a new place which has hot and humid temperature and a lot of dust as compared to my previous place. As a result a lot of acne and pimples are growing all over my face. A few weeks ago my face was totally clear and always has been such as long as I can remember. I have an active lifestyle and eat home cooked food.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pimples can occur due to causes like :
-Clogged pores.
-Oily skin.
-Hormonal Imbalances.
-Bacterial infection.
-Inflammation
-Excess sun exposure etc.

In case if you are in a hot and humid place then the chances of acne becomes more as there is more sweating and more accumulation or sticking of dirt and debris on face and it can lead to clogging of pores as well as infection leading to pimples..

You should consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin+Niacinamide..
Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser can also be advised....
Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time..
Do cool compresses over face..
Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin..
You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised
Avoid oily food..
You can also go for treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
