Another thing one can do is to not just spot-treat pimples. Stop the breakouts before they appear. Apply topical acne medications like Retin A, benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid over the entire affected area, not just on the blemishes that exist. Its good to use sulfur containing creams as it helps heal active pimples more quickly. Overdoing the medication can cause dryness, redness and peeling, so be careful!
