Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain acne or pimples and red lesions on face can occur due to causes like :
-Oily skin.
-Clogged pores.
-Hormonal Imbalances.
-Bacterial infection.
-Inflammation
-Excess sun exposure etc.

In your case it seems to be due to bacterial infection and inflammation of skin..

1.You shuld consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..

2.Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide..

3.Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time..

4.Do cool compresses over face..

5.Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin..

6.You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..

7.Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised.

8.Avoid oily food..

9.Take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits in diet..

10.Avoid scratching the lesions as it can cause spread of infection..
You can also go for treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
