Brief Answer:
Keep it clean and moist and consider these guidelines

Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome to health care magic, I had gone through photographs you have uploaded and I really appreciate your concern.

Pimples on the face might be related to infection of sebaceous glands or obstruction in its draining ducts

In my opinion she should wash her face with antiseptic facewash or soap and keep it clean and moist.
She may apply a combination of clindamycin and adapalene cream on pimples once in the night after washing face.
She may require a course of antibiotics either oral tablet or ointment to be applied locally.

She should not keep on changing various ointments, once infection subsides it will disappear

Hope this answers your question
please feel free to ask for follow up.

Doxycycline group of antibiotics are advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hello
welcome again and thanks for follow up question
In my opinion she can be prescribed Doxycycline group of antibiotics and clindamycin ointment

No problem in starting again with clindamycin ointment
She can use any herbal face wash or anti septic dace wash like clean and clear or hymalaya face wash.

Proper washing and keeping it clean and moist will definitely help her
She should take lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
Avoidance of fatty fried and spicy food.
Multivitamin and vitamin E supplements are also advisable.
