Acne and pimple issue
My skin is very sensitive one. I am facing pimples and acne issue since a while. I don't even apply moisturizer now fearing that something will pop out. Sometimes I feel itchiness and dryness on cheeks. Some pimple have pain and others are very small white in colour around chin area. I am attaching picture of the same. I don't understand what regime should I be following
