What Causes Zits On Face Especially On Forehead And Cheeks?

My skin was clear then but since 3 months, I am getting tiny zits on my face especially on forehead, cheeks,back and some on nose and lip area. They are merely visible in low light but gosh!! I feel desperate in good light. When they are popped, small, white rice like things oozes out which is solid in appearance and can be easily flatted with minimum force. I cant even find what my skin type is because I easily get pimples with the use of any new product also I feel heated flush on my face, where my T-zone is oily and rest somewhat dry. With tons of request for help....:( Please help me....

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns....

As per your complain it seems that the zits on your face are pimples or acne vulgaris and can be due to a number of causes like oily skin, hormonal imbalances, bacterial infection, inflammation,clogged pores,excess sun exposure etc..
I would suggest you to wash your face with salicylic acid containing facewash, apply a combination of gels containing Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide, apply retinoids like Adapelene gel once at night..
Do cool compresses over the face..
You should scrub your face twice a week with a gentle scrub..
Avoid excess sun exposure, use a non-comedogenic sunscreen lotion..
Drink plenty of water and avoid oily food..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
