I've had spots on my cheeks for nearly a year now that won't go away and everything that I try either make it worse or makes my face overly sensitive and red.. Anyone any ideas of what could help?

that looks like post acne marks. i would recommend doing a search here, there is some ways to lighten/heal these marks.

-just so you know, normal acne treatments like BP cream will slow down the healing process and make these marks stay around longer.

anyway, it doesn't look too bad.

Hello Sarah! I have been having some similar challenges in my cheek area on my face. I started using St. Ives Green Tea Scrub with Salicylic Acne Medication that contains 1% as an active ingredient. The exfoliation level is Moderate. For first time user, start using once a day. If your skin starts to get a sign of irritation, discard immediately. Great For Oily/Combination skin type.

Hi Sarah!
Im seeing this a few years later so I doubt youll respond or see this. It looks like Im having the exact problem currently. Did you find a solution to this? I can feel the bumps of the acne so they cant be scars right? The signs are pointing to rosacea but Im hoping its not that.
