Hello, I am 21 years old. I have been suffering from acne/ pimple problem.In the middle of both cheeks, I had a very very little dark pimples which never growing big just remain very small size and when try to pop, it doesn't pop up. Remains same small size and this causes very black dark spot on that part. I had try aloevera but nothing happen but it causes dry skin. I am using face wash called garner, it lighten dark spots a bit but these very small pimples remains same. I had this problem from about last 2 months. It first started with oily face but after using face wash all the oils are removed. So, what can I do now? What should I use? Please help me, I never ever had a problem like this before and even I never had pimples in my face before. It suddenly appeared on my cheek and I failed to remove yet. Please reply me with the name of the medicine that can be used and available in the chemist. Your help will be appreciated.
