I am 16 year old female, who recently started getting acne on her cheeks. Well not super recent.. It started about a year ago when I realized it was a constant thing. I break out ONLY on my cheeks, and just a few weeks ago I started getting tiny pimples on bottom corner of my lips. It has gotten a tiny bit better though, I used to get what started out as a hard bump that you can feel under the skin when you would press on it, but later on it would become into a very painful pimple on my cheeks. At the time I used shea moisture's african black soap because I heard it was really good it it didn't do much for me. So I changed to cetaphil gental face cleanser which has helped. I still get pimples but it's rare that I get really hard/painful ones. I dont know why I keep breaking out. I don't use masks or moisturizers, which I know I should, but my skin is just so sensitive i'm scared to try anything. I used to use the clean and clear dual action moisturizer but I felt like it just irritated my face and then I tried shea moisture's spot correcting moisturizer, which I felt like broke me out. So now i just wash my face in the morning, and then at night I wipe off my makeup with neoutrogena makeup remover wipes, (i wear face makeup frequently if that has anything to do with it) and then I put honey on my problem areas for 15 mins (I heard it was good for scars) and then wash it off with the cetaphil. Now my back is extremly terrible. I have so many scars it's ridiculous. I get really painful pimples back there including a bunch of blackheads. I never noticed how bad the was til now. I never tried anything for it, I always just scrub with a bar of soap and a loofa. If you guys can recommend anything for my face or back I would really appreciate it.image.jpg
