I advise you to consult a dermatologist online or in person, share clear pictures, and get a personalized treatment plan. Only after proper evaluation can the right medicines (creams/tablets) be prescribed

Salicylic acid face wash and benzoyl peroxide face wash will help cleanse oil glands, hence leads to formation of blackheads and whiteheads which further reduce formation of pimples. Kindly consult for better management options.
