Should I go to the doctor?

There are no rules for when you should go to the doctor. It depends on how much your pimple problem takes up in everyday life.

If the pimples affect your everyday life and the advice above does not help, you can contact your doctor.

Some think it is silly to contact a doctor or they are afraid of being considered a hypochondriac. However, we are talking about a curable disease. So, why not seek help?

You should pay attention to the fact that pimples in some cases can develop into painful wounds in the skin, fever and spreading infection.

This is because your own body becomes allergic to your pimples. If this happens, you should see your doctor immediately.

What you can do yourself:

• Stop ‘popping’ the pimples
• Wash with normal, neutral soap
• Spend time in the sun, with moderation

Go to the doctor (if the other advises do not help and the pimples are a problem).
