Pimple help!

Hello, I'm 15 years old.
I have been getting these pimples on my forehead.
However, it is deep under the skin and seems like a big bump from getting hurt or something.
It is small for now but it is getting bigger!
Easter is coming up and i don't want people staring at my bump while i'm speaking.
so i need help!
Also, what's a good way to reduce pimple size and redness in normal pimples?

Hello,
Acne is due to an overactivity and plugging of the oil glands.The main cause of acne is increased levels of hormones during adolescence. Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day.Pat it dry and do not rub it.Avoid picking or pressing the acne.You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel or clindamycin cream once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face. If your skin becomes red or peels, you are using too much of the medicine or applying it too often.

Engage in a diet that is low in sugar and fat but is rich in vitamins. This prevents acne by preventing the buildup of excess oil on the skin.Also refrain from touching or squeezing your acne.Also try to keep your hair free of dandruff by using good antidandruff shampoos.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Warm regards.
