Skin trouble..?

Skin trouble..?

well, I don't think these are acne... but I've had these "white stuff" around my eyes since like the 4th grade. I've went to dermatologists, but they poked me with needles and thats really not pleasant at all, so I never went back. well, now that I'm past puberty(kind of) and my redness disappeared, I thought these would disappear too.
But I still have these around my eyes and even on my cheeks! and still have blackheads on my nose, few on t-zone and even on my chin. my face is just a rocky surface.

So I used different cosmetic products along with some prescribed medicine. but I gave up in high school because nothing worked. even the famous Proactive and SkinID. so is there anything else left for me?

Hello,
It sounds like whiteheads and blackheads. It is a yellowish or blackish bump or plug on the skin and is a type of acne vulgaris. It is caused by excess oils that have accumulated in the sebaceous gland's duct.

Cleanse the area thoroughly and apply a good mild exfoliating scrub on that. Apply a medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. This helps is soaking the oil and helps in peeling away the blackheads. If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 minutes of applying benzoyl peroxide.

If the symptoms still persist then please consult a dermatologist and get cysts ruled out.
