my hair on my face curls in and it gives me pimples

[Bhupinder Kaur, MD]

Hello,
What you are having are ingrown hair due to curling in of hair. For this, apply warm compresses and keep the area clean. Other treatment options include tweezing, exfoliating with facial scrubs, sponges, towels or creams containing acid and ibuprofen or other NSAIDs. Topical application of dilute glycolic acid and salicylic prepared solutions are also helpful. You can consult a dermatologist and discuss these treatment options with him.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
