Hi all.. I've been religiously following the regimen for 2 weeks now, have witnessed no new acne breakout since then except for my nose
I had had a small pimple on the side of my nose which had started to clear up after suffering for a week and i was happy (the dark spot on the upper left of the image), but then just 48 hours ago, the tip of my nose and a bit above it (the second red spot to the upper right) started paining like hell and became reddish (the usual signs of an impending breakout).
I managed to limit them to these small bumps using BP as a spot treatment for these two all day long, while still continuing with the regimen.. they are still quite noticeable but at least the pain has gone.
Already had a breakout on my right cheek with a cluster of 3-4 painful bumps which is still healing, and i am pretty sure leaving a nice big scar..further deteriorating my mood.
But to hell with those on the cheek, what can i do to make these nose semi-bumps heal a bit faster?
All this is severely affecting my social life; starting with a great new job on Monday.. wanted to be in better spirits for it.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thank you.

Well perseverance92, its after around 8 years of constantly trying to avoid these topical treatments while keeping myself squeaky clean and still consistently getting these breakouts that i have resorted to the regimen given here.
And yes, i have been using ice since yesterday on them. I guess the BP and ice is the reason they haven't grown to their full proportions.
