Hi everyone,

first I just wanna say good luck to everyone here concerned about their acne and I hope you find the best treatment as soon as possible...

Second, I just wanna share my problem and see if anyone has the same problem or a solution.

I am 17 years old. I have had acne for 3 full years. Well, I wouldn't call it acne exactly. At the beginning, when I started getting pimples, they only came on my cheeks. And surprisingly, they stayed, until now. All other pimples that I get every where else go away, my chin, my forehead, my nose...They all go away, except the ones on my cheeks. Now all I am left with are these red spots that don't go away. I have been going to a dermatologist for 8 months once a month. He gives me this prescribed cream, it's good...For stopping breakouts. But I want something that gets rid of these red spots on my cheeks. He keeps telling me they will fade away soon but they don't :cry:. I'm really depressed. I don't talk to girls much, because of my face. I'm a really good looking guy, and girls do come and talk to me, but it doesn't matter much to me. I just want this problem off my face so I can be my self around people and I can look them in the face instead of the ground.

Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
