Start managing it: You're an adult. Acne is a major liability, and you owe it to yourself to take care of you acne instead of theorizing about it. The sebaceous glands near a pimple probably produce less sebum and the epidermis thins. If topical benzoyl peroxide or a salicylic acid was as tolerated have not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength Rx. Cheers.
