    Esp the one that hurt....
    For me, i esp destroy them, y'know the thing and it left me with small scars everywhere around my chin..usually it appears there.
    I don't usually have this acne but i guess wearing mask all the time makes it this way....

    I once got a lot of acne around the end of my school year on my cheeks and my temples despite regularly washing my face everday (facewash and moisturizer), and it was the largest breakout I've ever had. It stayed for about three months until I saw this tiktok saying Vaseline actually works really well. Then I did a quick search on google and google said it worked (which isnt really a very reliable ig, but I didnt really care), so I ended up trying it. It worked after two weeks of putting Vaseline on my face after using my facewash every night, and worked so fast that the results were obvious. I dont think any other factors were the cause of my rapidly reduced acne because my routine still stayed the same. So, you can try that i guess. Also make sure to keep yourself hydrated and moisturized.

    my mum buys some facewash and pimple cream from some beautician she knows and I use it
    my pimples do not improve significantly though, it mostly depends on my hormone level and whether it's nearing that time of the month
    another reason I have acne is because I lie on one side of the bed

    I wash my face 2 times a day because my face gets fairly oily
    and when those under skin acne pop up I slather a thick layer of pimple cream
    occasionally when I'm free I squeeze them with tissues though I know it makes them scar

    I'm experimenting with some facewashes rn to see what helps

    also... I heard somewhere that passing motion helps:blob_blush:

    I bought cleansers acne patches to help out since I've been breaking out badly. I sweat a lot and the masks certainly don't help, especially since I'm half dead and a sweaty mess by the time I reach my class.

    Although I still have acne it's not as bad as before. What helped me out was washing my face day and night and applying moisturizer. Moisturizer really helps out.

    Definitely try Curology or buy the Ordinary products. I've tried both and they both work well. I currently use a the Ordinary face mask and common drug store moisturizer and cleansers, and there's been a noticeable difference. I also saw someone mention vaseline, but I suggest you be careful with that since it can clog your pores.

    Isn't popping them making it worse?


    I'm sure there's some medicine or therapy for it...if it's too big see doctor they'd clean it out properly.

    Ewww Backne. Lmao

    Usual causes of acne are stress, bad hygiene and/or diet. Try to change your beddings regularly too. If changing these things for the better still don't help, then you could only blame your parents for your genetics. Also don't expect immediate results, be patient and be consistent.

    I didn't have those, just pimples that don't leave scars. I always popped them despite being said it's better to leave them, just make sure it's clean afterwards with alchocol.
    I stopped eating unhealthy food that causes pimples as much as I can, things like milk chocolate(I prefer dark one anyway), ketchup and other similary industrially over processed foods.
    Also found Neutrogena clear and defend rapid gel. Instead of waiting for days until the white head appears, you can pop a pimple in a single day, then just wipe with alchocol which also dries and reduces it.

    Mine flare up with caffeine intake, so I try to refrain from as many carbonated drinks and coffee, as much as possible. Dunno if it works for you.
    Also, try not to let sweat dry on your face, and wash frequently, since acne mostly is due to sweat clogging up the pores leading to sebum accumulation

    I usually consult with a dermatologist. But for emergency, i use bandaids/acne patches to cover the most offending spot. It's quite effective for me, since the patch keep my hands away, conceal the redness, while also suck the liquid inside those acnes out without the need to pop them and thus, reduce the swelling. But, i need to change it several times a day. After 3-4 days of acne patches, the swelling part usually gonna get pretty tame.
    But again, what work for me might not work for you.
    (Juust a disclaimer, I'm no doctor and this is not a medical advice :blobbunny:)

    You're a good doggo so you don't get one! :blobpats::blobpats:

    don't have any, if I do get it I guess I just ignore it. Don't think too much about it, but if it's severe go to the derma. My skin used to be crystal clear that I used to get regularly get compliments for it, but a year ago, it started acting up. It's okay now, but I don't think it's as clear as it used to be. Oh well

    This is what I do... really helps control
    1. Drinking a lot of water
    2. Drinking healthy tea (like chrysanthemum tea, 涼茶) / avoid unhealthy foods (actually tbh I don't really do this right now cause I'm a little piggy. But it helps if you have will power to change eating habits.)
    3. Change pillowcase everyday + wash blanket cover / sheets once a week
    4. Consistent skin care routine. Right now I am using oil cleanser + regular foam cleanser, I'm From Mugwort set, and cosrx AHA and BHA serums.
