New soap? fragrance?: If you have started using a new soap, detergent, fabric softener, candles, lotions, etc. that may be doing. Fragrances and aerosols are skin irritants. Otherwise, keep a food diary and see if any food in particular is associated with more pimples. Chocolate and fat causes acne to worsen in only some. Different foods affect others differently. Plenty of fruits and veggies, less fat and protein.
