I get pimples on my upper body which after while leave black spots/scars. I have shown to some physicians who keep changing medicines after every meet. The scars get lost if I apply" GSK's Tenovate GN" cream.but as soon as I stop using lotion, the pimples starts to grow again. Is it any kind of allergy. Or what should I do?

There are couple of things you need to consider while tackling an acne. It's a disorder of oil gland in which oil production is more and it's been influenced by hormones and diet. It can be controlled with having salicylic acid containing face wash along with reducing dairy products in diet and oily food. You would want to treat the condition based on its severity. Pictures of affected area would help in understanding the condition and would help you treating better way. Tenovate contains steroid which would temporarily subside the acne but it's not the cream for acne. There are chances that you would develop resistance to few antibiotics. So stop using over the counter meds Do connect for proper diet and management of acne.
