Have you suffered from acne previously? How long has this outbreak being there?

@crichel yes I had acne around 2017-18 the same way. However it went away for 7 years and resurfaced about a week ago. Any recommendations?

This is how it looked yesterday morning. Looks like its getting better somewhat. But now Ive noticed the other side of my face started to slowly show a breakout. I recently started using cabtreo issued by my dermatologist. What do you guys think. Sorry if Im pouring down on the chat but I need all the help I can get.

@altonlewey20 My understanding is cabtreo is a benzoyl peroxide solution so if its been prescribed by a dermatologist then I'd stick with that. I'd also study the Dan Kern regime and consider that as an alternative, which also uses benzoyl peroxide.

Hey man.

firstly, it does just look like a breakout, your skin doesnt look acne prone. once this passes Im sure youll be good.

I havent heard of cabtreo but if it is a benzoyl peroxide solution as the poster above me stated, make sure youre using a moisturizer with it and not letting it dry your skin out - this dryness and irritation caused by bp can lead to breakouts just like this one youre having.

other than that, any changes in diet or workout routine, day-to-day routine? switch your pillow cases out every other night?

@starpower hey thanks for your input. In fact the breakout has been going away. Im hoping that it stays away for good. Yes i was stressing about my hair for about a week and I believe it flared me up. I have been using a moisturizer as you recommended as well. The problem Im having is finding a spf that doesnt clog pores. Thanks again buddy!

Same thing happened to me last year turned out it was my beard oil clogging things up on one side. Might be worth checking if anything you use is only touching that part of your face.
