HI, I am 17 years old boy, I do get frequent pimples on my face but now all of a sudden I have got 7 pimples at a time which seems to be continuing one after the other. Last years my dermatologist had prescribed me erythromycin500 and clindamycin topical which were very effective then, but now when I have taken 2 doses of it but it does not seem to work anymore but is further ruining my face with more pimples. So doctors if you could suggest some oral or topical medications.

Acne or pimples. Due to hormonal changes. Oily skin causes it. Common in adolescent age. May occur in adults also. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne. So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
