Hi!Pimples occur mainly due to hormonal imbalances which causes an overproduction of oil and cells inside a skin follicle. They block the opening of the skin pore and cause the follicle under the skin to swell and become red. It usually starts in teenage, but most of the time lasts into adulthood.
Next Steps
1. Avoid breaking the boils 2. Use a good sunscreen properly You can start with creams containing clindamycin like Erytop gel and use a very mild facewash or a mild soap like baby soap.
