Small pimples with oily skin and redness are common and usually respond well to consistent care, so you should continue using Deriva BPO as prescribed (usually at night) and Episoft Cream to prevent dryness, as mild redness, peeling, or irritation can happen in the first few weeks and usually settles. Wash your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser, avoid scrubbing or using harsh products, use a sunscreen during the day, and do not pick or squeeze pimples. The treatment should be continued for at least 4-6 weeks to show clear results. If redness becomes severe, acne worsens, or there is no improvement, follow up with your dermatologist for adjustment of treatment.
