Please help, I don't know what these truly are.. Are they tiny pimples or are they red scarring from past ance ? Please help me get rid of these, they hurt my self image, I look in the mirror and I cry and think of myself as ugly,  I don't go out much because of it.. It hurts my relationship with the man I have been with for a year.. makeup doesn't cover it up really week so I stopped using it, I never got ance on my cheeks until about 6 months ago and it did all this, I am 17, almost 18 and I've suffered from ance since he end of 6th grad , I truly just want to clear my cheeks.. So please I am willing to do anything to clear it . I have tried everything , I've been to a dermotogist, I've tried benzoyl peroxide, I've tried sun tanning, I've tried all kinds of masks , right now I'm trying out a product called Lerroset , I've only been on it for 5 days so far but I'm not seeing any type of improvement on my cheeks, all pimples anywhere else have seem to go a away, but my cheeks have stayed like this... I hate mylef just becasue of my cheeks .. Looking in mirrors is just so horrible .. Please help

 im not a skin expert but some of that redness looks like post acne marks.

from what i understand, unfortunately sun exposure and benzoyl peroxide can actually prolong post acne marks (i guess other treatments can also prolong post acne marks as well :(  ) - also worth noting there is tones of chemicals which are not kind to acne sensitive skin, like  Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is in most soaps.

i dont know too much about it but ive read about people having some good results with exfoliating there skin to get rid of post acne marks.

i forgot to add, you might want to research aspirin masks.

i often use dispersible aspirin topically, overnight for redness and imo it works well.

Thank you, I just want a product to heal everything or maybe even just get rid of the redness, I'm super insecure , I'm not good with makeup, I just don't know what to use to heal it ?
