Suggest Remedy For Pimples
Hi ,
I am 28 years old. And weigh normally around 50. And height is 167 cms. I long for a clear and shiny skin whereas my skin often gets affected by pimples. And the pimples are not that large too. But they seem to be like tiny rahes kind of which normally makes some sort of a pit in the hole and when I touch it i can sense some small granule kind of inside it. If I try to pop it then a small granule oozes out of it and after that I feel that the skin is clear in it. But it leaves a dark mark on the face. The same happens with other areas like back, shoulders, upper arms and neck too. What do I do for it ? First to get rid of the smaller pimples and secondly for the dark spots?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain pimples can occur due to causes like :
-Clogged pores.
-Oily skin.
-Hormonal Imbalances.
-Bacterial infection.
-Inflammation
-Excess sun exposure etc.
As in your case they appear as small rash like eruption with tiny granule seems to be due to clogging of pores with dirt and bacteria leading to infection and pus formation that oozes out on pressing..
On the other hands dark or black spots left on face seems to be due to Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation that occurs due to pimples..
You should consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to wash your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply topical ointment containing Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide..
Apply retinoids like Adapelene gel in thin layer on pimples at night time..
Do cool compresses over face..
Exfoliate your face twice a week to unclog the pores and remove dead skin..
You can also apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Oral Medication like antibiotics like Clindamycin or Minocycline and retinoid like Isotretinoin can also be advised
Avoid oily food..
For dark spots apply creams containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid and arbutin..
Vitamin E gel can be applied at night.
Azelic acid preparations are helpful..
You can also go for treatment like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards.
