Why Pimples: Depends upon you age; whether you are male or female. For all my acne patients i recommend you to stop nuts and peanut butter. Stop chocolate; cut down on dairy products. Wash with neutrogena acne wash and apply a bpo (benzoyl peroxide) cream or lotion -- something like clearasil -- on the affected areas at night. If it persists, see a dermatologist who may prescribe an oral antibiotic for you.

Testosterone: Agree with Dr. L about what you need to do. However, almost all acne are driven by testosterone/androgen, in both men and women.

Gentle care: Wash morning and night with a mild cleanser, apply salicylic acid gel (available without prescription), oil-free moisturizer. Drink water throughout the day. Eat vegetables and fruits, avoid processed foods with added sugars and artificial additives. Avoid picking or squeezing pimples.

Acne: First of all stop picking. You will only make it worse. Secondly go see your doc or a dermatologist and they will give you a treatment plan that will clear up the acne in no time. :)

Meaning acne?: For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be used also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist helps.

Oral contraceptives (for women) and oral antibiotics are options also. If acne is quite severe, a dermatologist may prescribe Accutane.
