From the images, this appears to be inflammatory acne with post-acne marks on the cheeks. When acne heals and quickly reappears in the same area, it often indicates ongoing inflammation, hormonal influence, or clogged pores that need targeted treatment.
Next Steps
✔️ Avoid frequently changing skincare products and keep a simple routine
✔️ Use gentle cleansers and non-comedogenic moisturizers
✔️ Do not pick or squeeze the pimples to prevent marks and scarring
✔️ I recommend taking an online consultation with me so I can assess your skin in detail and guide you with a proper acne treatment plan.
Helpful Tip
Stubborn acne usually requires consistent medical treatment for a few weeks to control breakouts and reduce marks effectively.

Young lady...
I understand your issues and realize that you wish for this to be completely healed.
For best results, i recommend an oral vIt A synthetic derivatives that have to be taken for about 3-6 months with a consultation on a monthly basis.
More details of your medical, personal, family status etc will be required to ascertain hormonal status etc
Some blood tests are mandatory also before we start treatment.
The good news is that this will completely clear and the scars too will resolve.
