Question
How do pimples form in children starting from adolescence?
Answer
The formation of pimples is related to the increase in androgen levels during puberty and the excessive secretion of sebaceous glands. It is recommended to have a light diet, avoiding spicy, sweet, greasy, seafood, barbecue, alcohol, and other irritant foods. Use a degreasing facial cleanser for washing the face. Do not squeeze the pimples when they form or become inflamed to prevent scarring or acne marks and dents. Oral cefadroxil can be taken twice a day, two tablets each time, for 14 consecutive days. Additionally, apply Bactroban or metronidazole clindamycin gel twice a day until healed.
