Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Pimples may at times go away with over the counter drugs like femcinol cream and betnovate.However, when it is extensive, you will need to see an expert to help you to control your pimples, avoid scaring or other damage to skin and make scars less noticeable. This is best done by a Dermatologist.
Treatment options for pimples however include:
-Topical medications like retinoids, antibiotics cream, dapsone
-Oral medications like antibiotics like tetracyclines, combined oral contraceptives, anti-androgen agents, isotretinoin
-Light therapy, chemical peel, extraction of whiteheads and blackheads, steroid injections
In case of funny scars, the following may help:Soft tissue fillers, chemical peels, dermabrasions, laser resurfacing, light therapy, and skin surgery.
I will suggest you see a Dermatologist who is in the best positions to chose the best treatment options for you.
Hope this will help you
Best regards
