A few things you can do to help clear it up is to get an OTC topical. Something like 10% Benzoyl Peroxide is really good in helping acne clear up. It dries your skin out a lot, making it harder for oil to clog up your pores. With that being said, it only takes pea size of the cream (maybe even less) to cover the area. With this medicine, more doesn't mean better. Also, it could cause skin irritation if you put too much on. It also has the potential to stain clothes. Best used at night when you are asleep (wear a white shirt and have white sheets and you won't have any problems.) Don't use oil based lotion, try using a lotion directed towards acne prone skin. Same with soap. Dove might smell good, but it will clog your pores up really bad. Also use a face wash in the shower that has some exfoliating beads in it. Those will help remove your dead skin that could potentially clog your pores as well. DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY. Don't bee too harsh with the beads, as it may make it worse. And last but not least, keep your face clean at all times. If you sweat, immediately wash your face. Even just plain water is better than nothing. And clean it every morning and night for sure. Hope this helps! Never really experienced acne, but I know these tips will work, as it has kept my face clear!
