Hello,

I understand your concern for pimples at the age of 25 years. Acne or pimples come out by teenage and then almost vanishes by the age of 25 years. Pimple can erupt due to variety of causes but basically due to hormones which are the chemicals influencing one or other body functions including growth, puberty.

You have been provided good treatment with minocycline antibiotic and benzoyl peroxide cream and clindamycin gel. These are the mainstay of therapy in pimples at your age SO can continue the same.

In my patients I also suggest to not to pinch, pop or squeeze any area on face. Do not apply any creamy or oily stuff or any other cosmetics over face. Avoid any home remedies suggested by your friends or family members or otherwise self implicated therapies also.

Do not apply any other medicated cream without medical supervision. Avoid situations of direct continuous exposure to sunlight or heat and humidity for long hours.

It may take few weeks to recover form the condition so have patience. All the best.
