has anybody else experienced this?!?😭💔

I would always have these tiny red bumps near my cheeks/undereye area but it recently got worst 😭😭

I can’t figure out what’s causing this let alone know what kind of “acne” this is. I was sooo bothered by it that I booked an online consultation with a derm and all I got out of the 5 minute call was that it seemed to look like a variation of white / blackheads, closed comedones, or even bacterial acne🥲 I got prescribed EpiDuo but after seeing how some people’s acne got worse after using it on TikTok, I decided to find other alternatives first.

I thought that it may be due to new additions to my skincare routine such as the SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule, so I cut out all new products, actives, and focus on hydration and repairing my skin barrier. I’ve also been using the PanOxyl 10% Acne Wash as I heard that it targets bacterial acne. I’m not sure if it’s helping me but my forehead has cleared up but not so much on my cheeks 🥹

Anyway, if anybody is experiencing the same thing do let me know how you got rid of this or if anybody knows what exactly these red bumps are.. Being vulnerable with my skin is hard especially because I base my content on mostly skincare 💔
