Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimples reappear on stopping medication which occur when clogged pores of sebaceous gland filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected and these are recurrent. It could be due to stress and hormonal. You should exfoliate your face once a week and apply aloe vera gel and apply azelaic acid containing cream. You should apply clindamycin gel as well. You should drink 4-5 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course and laser therapy and micro-peeling as well. You can go for oral contraceptives as well after prescription. Apply isotrintoin on face at night time on daily basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
