Hello everyone,
So I'm a 16 year old male teenager and for the past few months (starting around November) I have had a lot of trouble with acne. During last spring until early fall I had great skin. Only a few marks, just the odd few pimples that would go away in a few days to a week. But lately all of my acne have been leaving red marks, some will fade but some will stay. For some reason all of my acne is beside my mouth, chin and lower cheek area. Would not getting enough sun cause the skin not to heal?If anyone can give me suggestions on what to wash with or what I can do to get rid of these marks, it would begreatlyappreciated!

I would get a referral from your doctor to see a dermatologist ASAP for early intervention and to help prevent acne scars. Get some help from a professional. You can get a prescription for topical retinoids (ex. retin-a micro, tazorac) to apply to acne at night. Some can also offer light treatments to help clear it up and get it under control. Personally, I would avoid antibiotics for treating acne.
Maybe this website will have some good pointers for you. I've found it very helpful:
