Hello
Pimples are very common in teenage years. If they have oily skin you can start using a gentle cleanser for acne prone /oily skin as per dermatologist's advice. Do not go for cosmetic skin care products as they can cause more irritation to the already problematic skin. You can try using anti acne products like clindamycin gel / benzoyl peroxide . If acne is severe oral medicine for short term may be needed.
Next Steps
Visit a dermatologist. Follow the advised prescription.
Health Tips
Avoid hair oil. Avoid oily/junk food/milk and milk products. Use a gentle cleanser. Do not prick pimples.
