Arthur:
To start with, you can go to the pharamacy and get two things: a wash or cleansing bar containing benzoyl peroxide, and an acne gel with any of the following ingrediants: benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, or resorcinol.  (There are many brand names with these ingredients.)  Use these products once or twice every day.  Be patinet--it may take a month or two to work.  If the medications irriate your skin, or if you don't get better in a couple of months, visit a dermatologist for more help.  (And although it's tempting, never pick or squeeze your pimples.)

Keyowrds: acne, soap, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, rerorcinol
