Acne swellings on my face.
I have severe inflammatory acne on both side of my cheeks which swells and hurts from time to time. I have applied some diluted apple cider vinegar on it before and it really helped in reducing the swelling, But the acne just get swollen from time to time and hurts . It kept spreading on my face till it covered my whole cheeks. I keep my face clean and wash it time to time because of oily face but the acne just don't go.
