Over the past year I have developed mild/moderate acne, which I have been fairly successful in treating over the past few months with benzoyl peroxide 2.5%.
However, I have one area on my face on my left cheek, further back towards my ear that will not clear up and is unlike the spots I get on the rest of my face.
It started with a few pimples there last February. Every few weeks I get new pimples there right on top of where the old ones were. Then when they die down I can feel that the skin is still inflamed and there are new pimples forming. The skin in this area is starting to become uneven and pigmented. I cant seem to stop these localized breakouts, even with copious amounts of benzoyl peroxide. I don't get more than 2 pimples in the same place on the rest of my face and these eventually go away.
I am fairly happy with the rest of my face, is there anything I could do to clear up this one specific area. Time doesn't seem to be helping as its been six months and the area only looks worse.
Thanks for any advice!
