Hi ...
Pimples are due to a blockage in a duct which is connected with a lipid producing gland and hair follicle ... this blockage can happen due to various reasons like harmonal issues which increases the lipid (sebum) production leading to blockage or by growth of organism or due to dandruff ... hence it’s better to consult a dermatologist before starting medications for better understanding about these disease and to prevent pimples from recurring
