Hello guys. Lately I've been getting some red bumps under my skin that are not really that big but they eventually form a Whitehead and they're mostly around my jaw area and a bit on the cheeks and also some tiny skin colored bumps on my chin and a bit of the left cheek. I'm using bioderma sebium cleanser (dries me out quite a bit) and I exfoliate daily with wheat bran and use skinoren with nivea at night because skinoren alone dries me out really bad and I don't know if that's better since my skin has been quite dry lately. Now to the questions.. Any idea why those pustules suddenly formed on my face? Could it be the dry skin or something? Should I stop using skinoren and just cleanse the same and wait for them to heal on their own? I don't know what to do anymore... Constantly freaking out about every pimple in fear I will go back to what I was.

Balance is key. You really can't dry out your skin too much cause that will just cause more irritation. More irritation = more acne. Find a good balance of a treatment (Salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide) and a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.

Also know that any treatment you try could take months to work. Nothing is ever instant when it comes to clearing acne so every new pimple could be your skin purging or all the impurities that just haven't come to the surface yet.
