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.

Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
