Options: From your description, you would be a good candidate to try over-the-counter remedies. Finding a gentle face wash and facial lotion, and make them part of your daily regimen. Also, look for products that contain benzoyl peroxide and apply them as directed. This is a good first step for management of acne. If you don't see results in a few months, see your doctor for additional options.

Agree w Dr. Mead.: Wash face w gentle cleanser 2x/day & use oil free products. No oily hair or heavy foundations. Try not to pop pimples. Avoid touching face (cradling chin in hands). Remove makeup before bed. Shower after strenuous exercise. Consider OTC products (salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). Retinoids/ comedone extractor can be helpful for black heads. If > mild acne see dermatology.
