Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Pimples need effective and timely treatment. As per your description it seems that you are having advanced form of pimples called comedones.
Consult a dermatologist and get the following things done:-
(1)- Topical retinoins and benzyl peroxide wash can be tried initially.
(2)- Topical clindamycin gel to clear of infection.
(3)- You might require lral antibiotics like tetracycline or tetracycline also.
(4)- Avoid oily food and do frequent steam inhalation.
(5)- Do not puncture or break the nodules.
If symptoms persist despite all these you might require laser therapy.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
Dr Shinas
