I constantly have pimples under my skin. what can i do?

Gels/creams for acne: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel/cream is helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel/cream. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or differin (adapalene) gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral contraceptives (for women) and oral antibiotics are options also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist may prescribe oral accutane.

Pimples : Black heads and white heads (comedones) and cysts all may feel like bumps under the skin. Certain topical retinoid creams ( tazorac (tazarotene) , Retin-A , etc) may be prescribed. Accutane may be prescribed for inflamed cystic acne . See a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment.
