How do i get rid of these pimples?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Manage them: Acne is unrelated to lifestyle, diet or hygiene. It's not curable but you can manage it until it goes away on its own. I was able to stop using medication at age 50. If topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoic acid has not cleared you in a few weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength medication.
