For grade 1 and 2 you can use topical tretinoin,BPO, adaplene. If grade 3 and 4 that is you are getting nodules then you need to be started on oral isotretinoin. In females PCOS is the major cause of acne. If so hormonal therapy is helpful. Pimples waxes and wanes upto late 20s. Sometimes persists upto 30 to 40 years.
