hey, i have acne that is all over my fore head and sometimes i get bumps that are under my skin and it hurts if i touch it what are they could they be pimples under my skin?
Ok, some tips.
DONT USE CLEARASIL IF YOU ARE A TEENAGER!!!! It is too harsh on your skin causing more acne. Use gentle products like simple.
DRINK LOADS OF WATER!!!
It really helps, trust me.
