Hi pimples are most common on face in teenage age.i think sofradex cream contains steriod hence whenever it is applied pimples disappear and again recurs with more effect.the best treatment is application of retinioc acid 0.025 percent .at night along with moisteriser can cure it.use a good salcylic acid face wash like salsia face wash twice daily can reduce oiliness of face
