hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
you are suffering from a very common problem namely acne .Before coming to the exact treatment, I would like you to follow certain precautions:
1. Avoid using any oily creams or lotions over face as much as possible. you can however use oil free moisturizers
2. Wash your face frequently in order to keep it dry
3. Drink plenty of water
4. Try to avoid eating dry fruits
5.Avoid touching or squeezing of pimples
6. Avoid Hair oil
7. Always use a sunscreen (SPF> 26) when going out in the sun
You might need to apply some antiacne medications like Clindamycin gel over the affected area.
In case the topical therapy alone does not help you, you should get yourself assessed by the dermatologist since you might need treatment with oral anti acne agents.
Hope it helps
Wishing you speedy recovery
