Is consulting a dermatologist the only effective way to get rid of pimples?
Re: Effective way to get rid of pimples
No, it's not the only effective way. But a dermatologist can assess your skin and determine the type of acne you have and then he/she can recommend various treatments that can help you, their benefits, side effects, and results. Treatment options can include pills (birth control/antibiotic), ointments, chemical peels, laser, etc. Sometimes we run around trying one natural remedy after another that doesn't work and it's just better to have your skin assessed.
But apart from consulting a derm, you also have to take basic precautions for your skin. For example, drink plenty of water, include plenty of fruits/veggies/protein in your diet, take a multivitamin, get sufficient sleep, exercise regularly, wash your face twice a day and moisturize, use products that suit your skin type, wear sunscreen when you go outside, and don't touch your face too much.
My derm even told me that eating yogurt regularly can help reduce/prevent pimples because yogurt contains a healthy bacteria that destroys pimple-causing bacteria. So take these basic precautions and see a dermatologist if its not getting better.

Often times, people break out because they're not following the basics (good diet, sleep, exercise, drinking water, etc.) And acne can settle down a bit if your make lifestyle changes. However if you feel that you're already doing all of these things, then go to a dermatologist.
