Suggest Medicine For Pimples On The Face

Hi doc, I am having pimples since a month, and those are on and off mode. I am not on any sort of medication. These pimples could be because of weather change but I still want to know some ointment or cleanser that could be used during night hours. I am having slight marks of these red pimples.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Thanks for your query . Pimple occur on face when duct of sebaceous gland get blocked and infected by bacteria .There are many factor that trigger pimple formation like hormonal changes ,stress or some medications .

I would suggest you to not to prick or touch pimples , exfoliate your skin to remive dead skin and bacterias, wash your face with mild soap twice a day ,avoid over exposure to sun and use over the counter ointment containing benzoly peroxide (very effective) and azelaic acid .

If condition persist 10 days after adopting above method then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation of your condition . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , isotretinoin containing ointment or procedures like chemical peel or microdermabrassion.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
