Is My Skin Purging?

I am currently on week four of the regimen and I am now using a finger length of Bp morning and night. I am still getting about 7-8 whiteheads everyday, they seem to be never ending! They are mainly on my chin and forehead in clusters, and I can feel bumps that are under the skin as well. Does this sound like purging? I know that I might not see results for several months so I am going to stick with the regimen, I just want to know if I am purging, or if this is not really working for my acne.

Also is it better to just leave the whiteheads alone, or to get the white gunk out?

Thank you!

Sorry nobody got back to you.

BP will usually not reduce whiteheads. More often than not, BP causes whiteheads. You're probably not purging but making the problem worse. Try a high quality daily mild 2% salicylic acid peel followed by a quick blast of blue wavelength (415nm) light. NO moisturizer!!
