I'm 14 years old and I wouldn't say I have a 'major' acne problem I would say (especially on my forehead) it is bordering on being 'mild' acne.
I think the main problem is that I have pretty long hair for a boy, just think Justin Biebers old hair look. Which of course builds up the oil which causes me to have at a guess 13/14 small spots under my fringe, this is not visable of course due to my hair being in the way of it but I would never dare lift up my fringe to reveal whats underneath to people at school etc.
Currently I have 3/4 on my chin also these ones are not that visable which is good.
I have 3 spots on my upper lip right under the nose these are fairly okay but sometimes 1 or 2 can sometimes get extemely red and bloody.
I have 1 on the bottom of my nose which is reletively ok and also 1 between my two eye-brows thankfully that spot is going away after previous days of trying to make it non-visable finally it is starting to go.
In the morning I use a water-based cleanser from Clean and Clear which I think helps keep oil levels down on the affected areas only for about 2/3 hours max then in the middle of the day my forehead starts getting greasy again.
I also use this gel kinda thing from Freederm which you rub into your spots and it helps reduce the size.
And also I sometimes use this amazing product called a 'Witch stick concealer' and its good for the skin (witch hazel extract) but the only problem is SOMETIMES people in class can tell that I am wearing the concealer and it gets ultra embarrasing although I am only using it to cover up my spots and try to make them better.
Please give me your honest opinion what I should do, thank you very very much! :)
