Persistent adult acne is very common and highly treatable. For daily cleansing, look for gentle, non-comedogenic face washes or medicated soaps containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help unclog pores. Key medical treatments include topical retinoids (such as adapalene or tretinoin) to promote skin renewal and topical antibiotics (like clindamycin) to reduce bacteria and inflammation. For stubborn cases, a doctor may discuss oral options like hormonal therapies or oral isotretinoin. I highly recommend consulting a dermatologist to safely tailor a treatment plan specific to your skin type.

Body pimples are very common and highly treatable. For mild cases, you can start with an over-the-counter body wash containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help clear pores and reduce bacteria. For targeted treatment, applying a thin layer of benzoyl peroxide gel or adapalene gel to the affected areas once daily can be highly effective. Remember to wear loose, breathable cotton clothing and avoid picking at the pimples to prevent irritation and scarring. If your pimples are painful or do not improve after a few weeks, please consult a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan.
