Acne or pimples develop when overactive sebaceous (oil) glands secrete too much oil in the skin. Stress, cosmetics or oil-based creams could aggravate acne, the level of progesterone hormone increases, thus exacerbating acne. Use a face wash with salicylic acid twice a day. Apply a gel containing clindamycin or clarithromycin once a day. Do not apply any oil-based creams or cosmetics which could block the pores and give rise to more whiteheads. Also never pick or squeeze the acne. Picking not only leads to infection but also causes pigmentation and scars.
