Hi everyone,

I don't really have any acne very much, or any kind of scars really. I have been improving my complexion and what acne I have through the methodical use of salicylic acid, tea tree oil, cure aqua gel etc. Basically, I've been doing a lot of research and put in a lot of effort into improving my complexion. And, it has actually worked! My face is a lot better than it used to be, except for these two spots on either side of my nose!

Ever since I started using chemical peels (safely, mind you) my pores have been getting cleared and become smaller, which I like of course. However these two spots give me some huge problems. The skin just regrows back over the spot with a rough texture and a slight redness underneath the rough skin that has grown over after the top layer of the dermis peeled off from the peel I use. (Just a small 10% salicylic acid I use, and also a 20% tea tree peel etc.)

What I think of it is that these two red spots are just some stubborn blocked pores, and that I just need to more frequently exfoliate (safely, of course) and use multiple repetitions of salicylic acid over the spots.

What do you guys think? I am very satisfied with my face, except for these two problems spots. The spots have a rough and underlying red texture, ALSO, when the spots do clear up, and I don't make sure I clean them well, the darken and become more "blocked" looking, becoming just as red.

I kind of think this is just my face trying to clear out and clean itself from the salicylic acid applications, but I really would like some more opinions !
