Is it?

by secretwonderer, May 14, 2008 01:54PM

I normally don't have bad acne, only a few here and there. Two days ago I had a scab and picked. The next day I wake up to this. That afternoon I did use a face mask for oily skin. Could that have done this to me? IS it acne or something worse? Please help!

That definitely does look like acne and it looks very irritated as well probably due to picking at it. Don't touch it and let it be for a few days and it will get better. You may to stay away from that face mask.
