Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

WHAT IS THIS?

Hey guys!
So, I've noticed some weird stuff on my face. It's basically lots of tiny whiteheads ( I don't know if this is their correct name but they are White so yeah), they look like blackheads but they are white. 
Well, what bothers me is that I think some of them are turning into red and noticeable zits, some of them small and a little red and others bigger and more noticeable. A small part of them become loose and they easily come off without leaving any mark or redness but the majority gets red. 
Ugh, I hate It, they are so many and mostly on my cheeks. 
I'm on 30mg of accutane right now (I've been on accutane for almost 6 months now but It's been only a month since my dermatologist increased my dose to 30 mg) so I don't know if this has anything to do with It... Maybe accutane is pushing them out? I honestly don't know, I cant find any relevant information about these things. 

I'll just leave a picture I found on the Internet here:Screenshot_2017-10-25-23-51-29.png

They kind of look like this but they are on my cheeks. 
If You could give me some information about these things I would really aprecciate It... What may be causing them? I wear makeup everyday on weekdays but I remove It as soon as I get home (2pm).
Thank you, have a good day.

are you talking about dried out sebum? (small, hard white type things which look like salt ?)

Well yeah, they look like that but I think some of them are turning into zits (?) I don't even know anymore

Oh, I've just noticed that some of them have turned black and now look like blackheads

dry sebum / dead skin can blocked pores, which = spots

im not an expert but maybe you need to research exfoliating?
