pimples spot treatment - #14642

Dhruv

I am really struggling with my skin right now; I mean, I’ve tried everything for these horrible breakouts. A month ago, I noticed a few pimples popping up on my cheeks, which I thought were just a normal thing, but they quickly turned into this painful mess. It’s like I wake up and there’s a new spot, and I feel like I need an emergency pimples spot treatment! I had some luck with over-the-counter creams, but nothing seems to really work long-term. I’ve even attempted those DIY remedies, like honey and lemon, but that just made my skin a little irritated, like I was tempting the pimples to stay! I feel kinda desperate, like I need a miracle because I’m missing out on social things cause of the embarrassment. The dermatologist recommended a prescription cream, but I’m worried about potential side effects. Do you think I should just stick with a stronger pimples spot treatment from the pharmacy or go ahead with the prescription? Also, what about skincare routines; has anyone had actual success with a specific pimples spot treatment product that’s really worked? I can really use some solid advice here, feeling a bit lost!
