Pimples or Acne are a part of the growing up process though the duration and severity of Acne may vary from person to person.

Some people feel that if they are going to go away spontaneously, then why treat them? Acne should be treated as early as possible to prevent pigmentation & scarring on the face. The scarring due to Acne can be quite severe.

Pimples disappear on their own when the pores stop closing or getting blocked by dead cells.

A new drug has been found which prevents the pores from getting blocked thereby preventing Acne formation. This drug when taken for 6-8 moths causes the pimples to disappear never to come again.
This drug like many other drugs has to be avoided during pregnancy and the side effects are minimal. Acne can be easily treated under expert supervision.

PATIENT EDUCATION
