pimples are genetic that is if your mom or dad had loads of pimples when they were young then there is a 90% possibility that the same could happen to you. But the positive side to your small problem is there a lot of effective treatments, natural remedies, ointments, face washes etc in this day and age.
some advice to be followed if you dont want the pimple monster in you life:
a) Topical agents- Acne can be treated effectively with topical agent.DIFFEREN is a very effective gel that fights acnes.
b) Cosmetics- Abstain from cosmetics causing skin irritation. Use water-based and non-comedogenic cosmetics. Avoid greasy ointments and vegetable oils, parabens, lanolin, glycol, alcohol, petroleum oils and oleic acid in cosmetics.
c) Oils- Oils, like coconut oil, jojoba oil, lavender oil (soothes and heals scars) and tea tree oil (fights infection due to it’s antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties) are good for acne.
c) Diet- Avoid fried, greasy and sweet foods and foods with iodine (fish and iodized salt). Include extra doses of vitamin A in your diet after consulting a dietician.
d) Cleansing and exfoliating- Develop a regular habit of skin cleansing. Remove all your make-up at bedtime. Exfoliate with a gentle scrub 3-4 times per week.Use himalaya neem face wash.
e) Hydration- Drink 8-10 glasses of water throughout the day. Increase intake of water rich fruits and vegetables like cucumber, melon etc. Water flushes out toxins from the body and opens up blocked pores.
f) Humidity- Avoid excessive humid conditions like saunas or cooking in a poorly ventilated kitchen.
g) Picking- Do not pick the pimples and blackheads.
h) Stress- Beat stress. Try the relaxation and deep breathing techniques of yoga.
i) Sun- Avoid unnecessary sun exposure. Use proper protection like a sunscreen.
j) Exercise- Exercise to relieve stress and improve blood circulation to fight acne-causing bacteria more efficiently.

you can't "stop" it a lot of the acne is just genetic. however to help decrease the severity of your acne, wash with a mild facial cleanser twice a day. A body soap will dry out your skin causing an increase in oil production.
if you use make-up, look for types that are 'non-comodegenic' meaning they won't clog your pores.
the final thing is not to pick at or squeeze the blemish because it will spread oil, can cause scarring, and can sometimes cause a severe infection
at this point, an 'acne medicaion' like benzoil peroxide, or anything else made to treat acne would be overkill. it could dry out your skin, making the condition of your skin worse. leave that until later, if it turns out that you need it.

Pimples are caused by the body trying to get rid of toxins that it can't get rid of through normal channels. Junk food, high in fats and sugars are usually responsible for acne. Also, dairy products are a no-no for someone who shows a propensity towards acne. Get yourself a nice soft brush, and scrub your face gently twice a day with it. Do not use soap, just warm water and the brush. You'll be fine. Take care!

Proactive really works but there are plenty of OTC medicines like Clearasil...it could be a hormone in balance ..so a dermatologist could diagnose this problems
