Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pimples on face which could be due to

- hormonal changes
- stress
- onset of puberty
- clogged pores of sebaceous glands.

Need not to worry. Coconut oil is not the right medication for pimples treatment. I would suggest you to start applying mashed potatoes on your skin and keep it for 10-15 mins 3 times a day.

- Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on pimples.

- Take diet rich in vitamin E to enhance clear skin effects.

- You should give daily application of Glycolic acid 6 percent and retino a cream over your pimples.

- Drink plenty of water.


Visit dermatologist once and get it examined and go for micro-peeling and dermabrasion. You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. Don't use any cosmetics and hard substances on face.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
