Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Causes of Pimples:

Excess Sebum Production: Overproduction of sebum, the skin's natural oil, can clog pores and contribute to pimple formation.

Treatements:

1. Establish a Consistent Skincare Routine: Use a mild cleanser twice daily to keep your skin clean

2. Avoid Touching: or Refrain from touching your face and avoid picking or squeezing pimples, as it can lead to scarring and worsen the condition.

3. Dietary Considerations: Evaluate your diet and consider reducing intake of foods that may trigger acne for some individuals, such as dairy or sugary foods.

4. Stay Hydrated: Ensure you stay well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water daily.

Thanks
