How long to wait after applying BHA to apply BP?

Does anyone know approximately how long you should wait after applying BHA to apply BP to make it most effective? thank you

when does it ever end?

grr.. i have mild- moderately mild acne. I'm always trying to be positive but it's getting pretty hard.. i spent like the almost the whole day in the sun yesterday and my dumb ass forgot to put on sunscreen. the night before that i was at a party and had a few drinks and came home and went straight to sleep without washing my face. before i went to sleep last night i kinda saw a pimple forming on my right cheek. then when i woke up in the morning today, i saw something else forming on my left cheek. i don't even know what it is, its not that bad, but im pretty afraid its gonna get worse, alot worse.. when will i be able to lead a normal life without having to worry about acne..?

but more importantly.for the past two or three months or so, about the time i broke up with my girlfriend, i think i've developed insomnia, partially due to acne. I can go to sleep fine, i have trouble staying asleep though. almost every single night, ill go to sleep at 11-11:30 and wake up around 3 then go back to sleep till about 5:30 to 6:00. Even if im not worried about my acne at the time, this happens to me. I don't remember a single time in the past few months where i've slept for more than 5 hours straight. I'm pretty sure its acne related, but it happens even when im relatively clear. my question to anyone would be, how would you overcome this? im only 17, and i don't think seeking professional help is a choice. im just looking for advice, suggestions, things you guys do, etc.

thank you for reading my post and thanks in advice for any feedback

new habit i've developed

so now it seems whenever my body gets too hot, i somehow see a pimple that isnt happened and try to pick at it. let me give you guys examples.

the other day i took a pretty hot shower and it was about 70 degrees outside. im really hot and sweaty and i have to admit it was pretty dumb of me to take a hot shower. somehow i manage to see a pimple forming (it really wasnt, just a blackhead) so i tried to pick at it and before i realized it i was putting as much force as i could, but i got nothing out. so i had a small scab on my face.

just now i was taking a nap and i had on a heavy blanket and its like 80 degrees outside right now and i didnt turn my fan or ac on. so i wake up sweating bullets, run to a mirror and see another pimple starting to form, or so i thought. i just tried to squeeze it, this time it wasnt even a blackhead, i don't really know what i was picking at. so now im pretty sure that will turn into another small scab.

atleast i think i learned my lesson and after having it happened to me twice, no that my brain cannot properly function in the heat and i will try my best not to do it again, i hope.

HAHHA... im an idiot!!

So i have a spring concert in a few hours for which i play the violin. I also have a papule about an inch away from the right side of my mouth. i figuired i would be able to pop it (even though i shouldnt) cuz it wasnt that big and it'd atleast look a little bit smaller by concert time. so i try to, sterilize a needle and prick it, press down and nothing comes out. i press harder, nothing still comes out. before i know it, im applying A LOT of pressure to try to get something out, but nothing! so at last i stopped and iced it down and applied some neosporin. now its really red and i look like an idiot and i feel like an idiot.

Irony.

This is what I call irony. I'm currently a junior in HS. I have mild/mildly moderate acne. All I've wanted since February is clear skin for my junior prom which is like a prom but basically for juniors. It's this Saturday. The irony in this is all my blackheads and closed pores are clearing up amazingly on their own, but some of them like to become inflamed and turn into zits. I have like 4 PIH marks on my right cheek right now. I just find it so ironic that all I've wanted is clear skin before the junior prom, and now that its almost here and my skin is looking the worst its look in a while, but i can see myself clear in another month or so, hahaha. I'm not complaining, i just think its funny that this is happening. it'll make a great story to tell my kids
