Hello dear,

Welcoem to healthcaremagic.

I am Dr. Anshul Varshney. I will briefly try to solve your query to my best.

For pimples, there are two modes of treatment topical and oral Depending on the severity of the acne.

I usually advice my patients to put cllindamycin gel in the morning and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% in night time over the lesions.

In case of moderate to severe acne, oral drugs like doxycycline, minocyclune, azithromycin, retinoids are started.

I will advice you to visit your doctor so that lesions can be examined and correct advice can be given.

Do not put hair oil and avoid oily food. Also do not squeeze the pimples.

I hope it helps. If you have further query, you may ask me.

Good luck.
