tiny red bumps under eyes around cheeks

Hello,

During the hot season, my acne flares up. I sweat a little under my eyes on my cheeks; it is in this same region that I get acne bumps on my face. I don't know how to treat this problem. When I moisturize this area because the skin is cracking, I get more acne. However, when I treat it with Benzoyl peroxide, my skin begins to crack and gets really red. What should I do? Are there any other options besides the normal salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide options? Should I leave it untreated? Isn't the sun supposed to prevent acne as opposed to spur it?

Some people find their acne clears up with moderate exposure to the sun. However, hot weather causes us to sweat more which increases acne. Wash your face 2 or 3 times a day with a good cleanser for oily skin. My favorites are Effaclar by La Roche-Posay and Sparkling Clean by Estee Lauder.
If you need to moisturiser, choose an oil-free cleanser which will not encourage acne.
There are many options other than salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide: topical clindamycin, topical erythromycin and topical retinoids like adapalene. Discuss these options with your doctor. If your skin reacts to all topical acne gels, he may prescribe a course of oral antibiotics instead.
