I've been using cleargel cream for about six months after my doctor prescribed it to treat my pimples, and it worked great at first. But now, a month later, my pimples are coming back. Why is this happening? Is there something else I should be doing to keep them from returning?

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated
