Painful pimples on cheeks
Hi, I've been experiencing red painful pimples on my cheeks for the last month, increased over the last couple of days. Almost always in the same area of my cheeks but none on forehead and chin. I haven't changed my skincare or diet (healthy and no junk). I use standard dermat-recommended skincare products like Cetaphil. Please advise.
