Retinoid: The best way to deal with small pimples and prevent them from becoming bigger is to use a retinoid. Some of them are differin, tazorac (tazarotene) and various forms of generic retin-a.These are all only available by prescription so you need to see your family doctor or a dermatologist to get them.

Acne: It is important to treat your acne so that you don't get permanent scarring. Some patients wait too long before seeing their dermatologist to have their acne treated. Normally topical medicines and internal antibiotics are used to keep acne under control. You can start with an over the counter benzoyl peroxide wash while you are waiting for your appointment with your dermatologist.
