Hi there, i am 16 years old and i have cystic acne on my cheeks and pimples around the area.I rarely have whiteheads but rather red pimples.I have the same pimples for months and they just sit there doing nothing,maybe turning into a whitehead once after months.I also have back acne which started before my facial acne.I used to have only on my shoulder pad's(if that's what it's called) but now they went downwards also.I haven't gone to the beach after i started getting back acne(maybe that's the reason why i have, a lot of people that bath in sea water get rid of acne)I am never depressed of my acne and if i had only facial i would go to the beach no probs but since i have in my back and nobody else has i don't like going shirtless.Also, i live in an island so the beaches are full of people lol.I don't have a routine of skin care.I do a shower every few days because i find it too much to bath everyday.I also have scalp acne.I have facial acne 1-2 years tops but had back acne since 1-2 years before that.I have 2 previous posts of mine of some months apart from each other to see the difference between time.Here are the 2 links from the previous posts:

I have tried La Roche-Posay Effaclar K with Effaclar Purifying Gel.You can find some more info on my previous posts linked in this post.I just went to the sea and took 2 baths and my skin is looking better.My back is looking better aswell.I am waiting for my sunburn to fade out since i am red and wont make a worthy pic.
