Acne.org Products
First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I'm 21 years old and have problem with pimples on both my cheeks (picture attached). I have always have clear skin until the end of last year. I am not sure whether it consider as serious skin problem. I have no idea whether its pimples or acne or scar. It's painless. Is my pimple curing? Should i try accutane? I can't stop myself from picking so there is wounds on my cheeks. T.T
I have tried clinique products for a few months. My skin do gets better at first and its getting worst after a few weeks. I went to pharmacy and she recommended me T3 facial cleanser, T3 pimple gel and eskinol toner. Everything was just fine but my cheeks was itchy and red after i applied T3 pimple gel. I went to the pharmacy again the next day and replaced the T3 pimple gel by oxy5. It works well on pimples. However, it dried my skin and i can even peel off my skin. Help me please!!!!!
If the treatment you are using is working but just drying out your skin, just use the oxy every other day as opposed to every day. Your acne doesnt look that bad, most of it just looks like marks, they heal with time as long as you moisturise well. I wouldnt be thinking about accutane yet. You can look around these boards and see what other over the counter meds people are using, then ask your doctor.

Thanks for replying....so I should apply oxy on the red dots or da whole face?? Because I dun know which of it are acne or marks...there is bumps and red marks but not painful and I heard from my friend that her acne is painful....Besides, cab I apply moisturiser together with oxy? Because the pharmacist told me that if oxy is applied avoid applying other chemical products on the same place....sorry I'm new to acne...and it make me stress a lot...
