2 weeks ago , my face is finally clear except in my forehead. But this week i develop new bumps again on my cheeks. They are small but very red. They are not noticeable in pictures, but i swear they are a lot worse in person. Also my overall skin condition seems unhealthy. It became thin and seems like a skin of a an older lady , im only 18!!! Before tret, i have lots of tiny pimples but my skin isnt dull looking.  I dont know what to do anymore.

Well, first of all your acne is very very mild. I honestly would never notice. And I think you should keep going, little breakouts happen. And if the tret is working you will probualy be clear again soon. Its more about the big picture. Believe me I struggled with that too. (Really dont worry at all about your acne, its not noticable)

It cant be seen in the picture but i have lots and lots of small red zits and they are extremely itchy that is why i cant stop worrying. Last thursday my mom convinced me to stop tret.. And i did.. I started using nature republic aloe vera 92% soothing and moisturizing gel. I got rid of the dryness and flakes, but i still have the zits and they're still really itchy.. I dont know if im improving
