Painful pimples

Painful recurrent pimples probably require combination treatments that include aggressive topical prescriptions and oral antibiotics +/- oral contraceptives. Non prescription over the counter remedies and options will probably not be sufficient. I would suggest an evaluation by a dermatologist for possible prescription therapy.
