The cause cannot be precisely cited unless clinically examined the lesions. But it is certainly skin infection which needs treatment with antibiotic. The best one to act on this is Cloxacillin. For doses and frequency please see your doctor. In case the pimples are less than 1 mm size then local application of T bact oitment will also help it is available over the counter. Take care.
