Bad Acne
In my late 20's I've just started to get these strange 'pimples' which come as a big red bump. They have no head and they tend to stay around for a few weeks. When they do eventually go away I am always left with a red scar. I tend to get one every few months usually on my temples of jaw lines. I have no idea how to fight these things or how to reduce the scarring, before these things started visiting my face I had pretty clear skin, now I have these red marks and its frustrating!
Does anyone else suffer a similar problem or no of a good product I can use to fight them? I have tried so many products and I've yet to have any luck! Thanks!

Bad Acne
Normally in your 20s when you get cystic acne it is because of hormones and hormonal change like taking or getting off of birthcontrol. I would go to a derm and try something like ziana at bedtime and eucerin calming cream after the ziana.

I'm also in my early 20s and I get those. I've found that it's largely hormonal (they pop up that time of the month every time). I wash with an acne was every night and use St Ives scrub every morning. It seems to keep them at bay or at the very least shorten their duration. I also never had a problem with my skin when I was younger, apparently I'm not too old to start.
If it's that infrequent, it might be hormonal. It sounds like cystic acne. Seeing a dermatologist might help.
Re: Bad Acne
Basically, pimples have no time to appear. The reasons behind coming them can be hormonal changes, unhealthy diet, stress, pollution and so many. To get rid of them, try using the Zeroblem serum which is medical grade product, it treats and resolves imperfections in affected dermal areas. and disinfects the target area to remove blemish-causing bacteria without stripping away moisture from the skin. Best luck!
I also say go to a derm!
I struggled with the same thing. For acne with no heads, going to a dermatologist is the only option. You can try salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, but for most it will be ineffective. The one thing that I can tell you is to remember to moisturize even if you feel like you need dry out your acne.
I hope this helps!
