Hey everyone,
just to let everyone know, I am a 17 years old teen who is having an oily acne-prone skin in a mild to moderate cystic form.
Occasionally, I have started noticing something weird that never really occured to me before. From time to time, I experience this strong itchiness on specific cheeks regions (cheeks are my most acne-prone places). Once I check out the regions at the mirror, I can see this sudden red mark with an inch diameter. After a very short while, a bump appears underneath with diameter of half an inch. This can last for almost an hour, and then the bump slowly fades away.
The fact that I don't know what is causing this or atleast WHAT IS IT, really freaks me out.
I would be eternally thankful to anyone who would reply and give any advice or perhaps share same experiences.
Thank You and Have a Nice Day

Thank you for your reply first of all.
I do have a healthy diet and I cut alot of these conventional acne triggers (dairy, sugars, caffeine, junk food and many more)
I am suspecting that the culprit for me is allergy. More certainly moisturiser. So would definetely try to switch to another one and see the results.
Hi keruen98, I think you are on to it with your strategy to try changing products that are going on your face....that does sound like a mild allergic reaction as you describe the itchiness and lumps. Allergies can also arise from airborne plant material/pollens at certain times of year orfrom foods and it can be really hard to isolate what it is that is triggering your symptoms. Good luck in your quest!
