skin pimples - #16194

Raghav

I am freaking out about these skin pimples that just won’t go away! I’m 24 and have never really had acne issues before, but lately, I’ve noticed some pretty annoying skin pimples popping up on my cheeks and forehead. It started about a month ago, and I didn’t think much of it at first, but now they’re like multiplying, like little bumps appearing outta nowhere, and they’re super red and inflamed. I’ve tried over-the-counter treatments, but nothing seems to help. I’m trying to not touch them or pick, but it’s sooo hard! Also, I’m a bit of a stress case because I’m currently studying for exams, and I’ve heard that stress could be a factor in causing skin pimples?? Ugh, I don’t know. My diet’s been kinda iffy too; lots of takeout cuz I’m busy, and maybe I’m not drinking enough water? I’d love to know if you think skin pimples could be a result of stress and bad diet?? I read somewhere that hormonal changes might also play into this, but is that even a thing at this age?? I’m seriously considering seeing a dermatologist if this doesn’t get better, but I’m hoping there’s something simple I can do at home to clear this up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
