black pimples - #18183

Amara

I am seriously freaking out about these black pimples popping up all over my face. It's like last week, I woke up and noticed a few on my forehead, then by the end of the week, they had multiplied, and now there’s like ten of these black pimples! They’re not just the regular kind, they kinda look like dark spots and I'm not sure if they’re even pimples or something worse. I thought it was just regular acne at first, but these feel different, almost like a weird texture. I've tried some over-the-counter treatments but nothing seems to be working. I don’t have acne history, so it's super frustrating! My friends say it could be hormonal, but how can black pimples be caused by hormones, like, that doesn't even make sense to me? I also read something online about them being a sign of clogged pores or maybe even an allergic reaction, but I’ve changed nothing in my routine lately. Anyway, should I see a dermatologist or just keep trying to treat these black pimples myself?? The thought of them being permanent is honestly making me kinda anxious, and I can't afford to mess this up more than I already have. Do black pimples just go away on their own, or is there something specific I gotta worry about? Thanks for any help or advice!
