Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per you query you have acne and pimples on face, well cause of acne is sebaceous gland under the hair follicle , when sebum get accumulated in clogged duct of sebaceous gland along with dead skin and bacteria they produce acne and scars. Apply apple cider vinegar then wash with warm water twice daily. I would suggest you to wash you face 2-3 times a day with mild soap and warm water to prevent the accumulation of oil ,dust and bacteria on your face. Apply meladerm cream to lighten pigments. If acne still persists consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe ointments containing benzyol peroxide,azelaic acid or retinoids. Sometimes doctor may also prescribe antibiotics. Apply vitamin E oil at night. Avoid greasy creams ,use water based products. Don't pick or touch acne.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
