ointment for acne - #14765
I am really struggling with this terrible acne and need help. For the last several months, I’ve tried everything from over-the-counter washes to natural remedies, but nothing seems to work. It started with just a few bumps on my forehead and now it’s spread all over my cheeks and jawline, which is super embarrassing. I visited a dermatologist a few weeks ago, and he recommended a specific ointment for acne that I should try, but I forgot to ask if it could have any side effects. Sometimes it feels like my skin is getting more irritated instead of better, like my face is burning a little after applying it. My friend mentioned she had success with another ointment for acne, but every skin is different, right? Is it normal to feel a bit worse before seeing improvements? Like should I just stick with this ointment for acne or look for something else? I’m worried about scarring, too, since I already have a few spots from popping. I really want clear skin again! Do any of you have tips or experiences with a good ointment for acne that worked fast? Any advice would be super appreciated!
