Can you please describe the best ways for getting rid of pimples or prevent them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Benzoperoxide: The treatmenrs consist of using a benzoperoxide facial cream, using a shampoo with conditioner because conditioners will block skin pores giving rise to pimples, and certain antibiotics such as Doxycycline or Minocycline are very helpful.
