pimples spots on face - #19711

Dev

I am really frustrated and honestly a bit lost at the moment. I've been dealing with these pimple spots on my face for the past two months. It all started after I tried this new skincare routine, and now my cheeks are covered in red painful spots that look like mountain ranges! I thought it was just a phase, you know, a reaction maybe, but it just keeps getting worse. I’ve changed my diet, drinking plenty of water, and stopped using that routine, but still no luck. I’ve read a lot about what might cause pimple spots on face – hormonal changes, stress, even certain foods – but nothing seems to fit my situation. I had a couple of friends suggest I see a dermatologist, and I’m tempted, but I'm worried they might just dismiss it or prescribe me something harsh. Should I be trying over-the-counter treatments, or is it really time to go see a pro? It’s getting so annoying cause I feel like I can’t even go out without feeling super self-conscious about these pimple spots on my face. Any advice from anyone who's been through this? What worked for you?
