Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

There can be breakouts without any relation to co2
If having breakouts constantly better to treat the active acne first then go for CO2 laser
Continue the medications
If it worsens go back to your doctor
