Acne HELP PLEASE [ACNE]

I am a teenager (17yr)

one day i wake up and suddenly I have little bumps on my forehead which i popped (have a bad habit of popping them ) they had water in them. they left big dark spots on my forehead. After some days i had them on my cheeks both side and i popped them again(they also had water in them) (cant control myself).

Now I have bad post acne marks on my face for over a month and am really insecure about them. like I don't feel like going out anymore , don't want to have eye contact with people.

I use azelaic acid 10% at night and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% in morning apply sunscreen as well, with that i try to not touch my face but no improvement. it's been more than a month but the marks are not fading.

though i do have some very tiny bumps on my face (cheeks) with water in them. I have a oily skin type

please advise me some products or anything to help remove them, everyone around me has clear skin except me.

Are you brand new to skincare? Don't know how to build a skincare routine? The best place to start is our ScA Routine!

You can find even more skincare guides in our wiki!. Your answer might already be in there (and if it is, we might remove your post).

Everyone is welcome in this community; remember to be kind and assume good faith :)

Hi there,

It seems like you may be looking for information about hyperpigmentation or post acne marks. Have you read our hyperpigmentation wiki?

If you see that I am replying to something out of context (eg. listed in a routine), please report this comment so my handlers can remove it. Cheers!

Try using pimple patches on them next time to prevent yourself from popping them
