Skin problem

2017-11-08 14:39:30
I've been having skin problems on my face for the last 10 months or so, I was told it was just acne but it's starting to really hurt now, it's mostly concentrated around the nose/mouth area. I've tried putting vaseline and soothing creams on the area to sooth the pain and dryness/flakeyness, but the spots/lesions just come back tenfold. I dont know what to do.

Stop using vaseline and soothing creams. Frequently wash your face with water only. Don't apply moisturisers on your face it will increase your acne. Please upload or send pictures for better diagnosis and treatment.
