yes I began having an outbreak of acne on my face and skin. I had acne as a teenager, but at over 59 I was really surprised to get this outbreak. Although these pimples are not your average zit. These develop as a red spot with a growth under the skin. Eventually after several days the whitehead appears but will not pop or heal until the small hard white growth is dug out root and all. If all of the growth is not removed, another grows. If all growth is removed then the sore will eventually heal. What is it that has affected, or infected me?
