My skin is just so frustrating! Yesterday I had perfectly pretty much 100% clear skin and today I have a huge painful pump probably acne and its under skin annoying and hurts I also have a another huge pimple, for some reason I usually only get pimples in a certain area/side of my face, the center of my left cheek, i have huge blackheads, and acne there usually at least once a week. I also get bumps on the bridge of my nose. I keep my face clean 24-7. Wash 2x a day, steam usually once a week after washing, exfoliate usually 1-2x a week, aztec secret indian healing clay or glamglow supermud treatment 2-3x a week, sometimes just as spot treatment, I use jojoba oil/grapeseed oil for moisturizer sometimes with lavender essential oil, tea tree oil and salicylic acid as spot treatment, and 5% benzoyl peroxide all over my face as acne prevention but nothing really works to stop getting annoying painful bumps or pimples
btw im 13 almost 14 and might try birth control as some of my friends suggested to me?
Update: Its even worse than yesterday!! The underground pimple is soooo painful and by being a picker and trying to pop it the top layer of skin came off the big zit problem is a patch of blood scab stuff and it was re-infected so i popped it again and a lot of blood came out and the white gooey stuff came out as well
I put some mask on it but idk what to do
PLEASE HELP ME!
Omg it's just one or two bumo without a head right? You need to stop freaking out! That makes it worse! Be glad it hasn't come to a head cuz those r more frustrating in my opinion. You are very young, so u need to realize that acne at ur age is normal. If u pick at it, u might leave a scar that'll last until adulthood. So relax and realize that eventually it'll get better if u stop picking. What u can do is place a pimple bandage on it. U can find those at places like Walgreens or target. Leave it on during the day and before bed put a new one on. Dothis for a couple days and see how much it heals on its own
