[YellowBoyRedSkin]

Hi, I'm new to Acne.org!

Just call me YellowBoyRedSkin or YBRS. (made the name up on the spot D:) So I'm currently 16 years old living in the Wales. Yes, I'm chinese.

So about my spots. It kind of started when I was in year 8/9 (12/13 years old) I only had minor spots but they were around my cheeks, not my forehead or chin or anywhere else.

Then as the years grew I started to get more. My best time was during the easter holidays only this year (around march). I would consider myself having a clear face with only faint red marks, and no breakouts. I don't know how I managed, it was very natural, no products. I was at a trip and I drank TONS of water. I think that was why it helped.

Anyways after a good 4 months of happiness, arrived the devil during the summer. I went on holiday to China and it was blasting hot. For a whole month we spent the whole time eating out, lots of restaurant food and probably a considerate amount of fried food. Eventhough it was hot, I didnt drink so much because of all those fun activities and shopping! But yes not cleaning my face, and not controling my diet meant I had a massive break out.

Ever since coming back to England, the spots were huge!

Never had forehead spots now only a minor. Only whiteheads.
My cheek has many red faint marks and only a few whiteheads.
My main enemy are cysts and nodules. (thats what I think it is)
Them huge red bumps that hurts sometimes when you touch. Seems impossible to pop and takes forever to heal. It takes time for the leakage to appear.

I pop most of my spots which may be the reason why I have scarings. I dont know if they are scars for life but there is a considerate amount of red marks on my face. They dont go away easily (or literally never) and most breakouts and in the area where I had those spots before.

So many of my spots are small on the forehead and huge on the cheeks and under my nose. They are the main areas. When I say im prone to spots, its because I eat fries or pizza one day, I get one the next. I can only control breakouts for a while with hard work. Thats without using products which I think are useless, unless its prescriped medication or miracle medicine which I dont use.

So I just want some advice, but please dont list alot of products, dont want the hassle.

Summary:
Mostly get nodules and minor cysts?
Spot prone, very sensitive to what I eat.
Spot red marks not disappearing.
Reoccuring spots and my popping addiction.
And the funny thing is, I've tried using make up for the past 3 months xD (im a boy haha)
It doesnt hide them but cover the redness. That seemed to control the spots a bit.
Only tried it because I went into Boots wanting an overnight solution to my spots for a B'day Party.
Then I have used it til now.

Pictures later.

HELP!
