[Acne] pimples help 😭

Post Content

for like the last three months, I have been getting a mixture of regular pimples and cystic pimples that are so sore underneath the skin on my chin and kind of on my cheeks a little. I admit that I’m not familiar much with skin care routine routines, and I have to be really careful because I have eczema so my skin can easily react badly easily I usually try to wash my face at night and in the morning and I use cerave face cleanser and elf moisturizer and elf serum although I feel it leaves my face feeling kind of sticky hhhand dry sometimes. I think the Chin pimples and cystic pimples might be related to my hormones also because when my period is over, things tend to start to clear up a little bit however, just as it starts to look almost OK again it does seem to explode around the time of my period so maybe I should get on birth control. I am not sure, but other other options that I could try? I have been trying that benzoyl peroxide on the pimples, but I feel all that does is dry out my face into flaky bits and make things worse. please help that y’all it’s very un flattering. I work in Front facing office seen by lots of people and I can’t be looking like this.
