Wash your face: SSharma - using a medication to help reduce the bumps is not a bad idea, but my suggestion is that you utilize soap that kills bacteria. My suggestion is sold at pharmacies. The soap is called Hibiclens. Use it twice a day to kill the bacteria on your facial skin and that should reduce the bumps within a week to 10 days.
