Face acne

Dear Patient: Thank you for writing to Sehat.com

Pimples are a somewhat natural phenomena that occur due to increased sebum production and dirt that clogs up pores. Our skin is covered with sweat pores and day to day, we tend to block some of them with dirt. This is especially true with dirt entering the pores on the face. The blocked pores are now a teeming culture plate for bacteria. And that is what a pimple is.

Treatment is simple:
Wash you face with a good face wash 4 to 5 times a day
Do not touch your face
Drink lots of water
Take 1 multivitamin pill daily

If the pimples are not gone by 1 month, you may have acne, in which case, you should see a Doctor.

Hope this helps you. All the best.
