Constant appearance of painful acne
Hi,
I am a female, but not a teenager at all. I am having these acne all over my cheeks and forehead. They are painful and leave ugly dark spots behind them. I don't eat much spicy food, nor is my skin oily. In fact, I am very conscious about my diet (although, I may be eating something harmful unknowingly). Please do suggest some effective cure for this. I've been suffering from this since a long time now.
Thanks!!

Hello! Acne can appear in 20's and beyond too. It's good that you try to eat healthy but acne is not always related to diet. Management of acne depends on the severity and usually has different modes of therapy. Consult with a Dermatologist for examination and treatment.
Next Steps
Consult with a Gynaecologist to rule out PCOS
Health Tips
Avoid using creams and cosmetics as they may be comedogenic and can worsen your acne
