I am 19 year old girl, should pimples be treated

?Pimples or acne can be treated very well with regular treatment. Considering your age, it is a common occurrence at that age due to the sudden spurt in hormonal levels which increase oil production in the skin.

A course of treatment spread over 8-12 weeks provide excellent clearing of the eruptions. Occasionally some girls suffer from a condition called PCOD or Polycystic Ovarian Disease which makes treatment difficult. Tablets containing Isotretinoin are helpful in such cases although they should not be taken by girls without medical supervision. Minocycline or Doxycycline tablets too help.

There are several gels and creams containing Clarithromycin, Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide which help to clear pimples. Tretinoin (Retino A), Adapalene and glycolic acid  fades scars as well.

Also there are some chemical peel treatment which some doctors do for stubborn scars. The end result is quite good in most cases if the patient is truly patient.
