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

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
