Hello,
Acne or pimples in most of teenage people beginning at the age of 13-14 years and then almost vanishes by the age of 25-30 years.
The main cause of pimple formation is principally due to hormones (chemicals which are influencing one or other body functions) in addition to the influence of certain other factors causing its aggravation.
Do not pinch, pop or squeeze any area on face and not even touch the area as is the sole most important cause of aggravation of pimple as well as formation of mark. You should not apply any creamy or oily stuff or any other cosmetics over face. Try to avoid any other treatment suggested by your friends or family members or otherwise self implicated therapies also. Most of he times any of the home remedies blocks more of the pores and results in more aggravation of pimples.
For the pimples I prefer to use a combination cream of Adapalene with Clindamycin over it in a very thin layer so that it should not be visible to the naked eye.
With best wishes,
Dr Sanjay Kumar Kanodia
