Q: spots on my cheek have been here for about two week and nothing seems to be helping. what can i do? school starts in two days.

: Acne is caused by a combination of bacteria on the skin, clogged pores and hormonal fluctuations that affect both. Try gently washing with a medicated acne wash containing benzoyl peroxide twice a day. Apply spot treatment to the pimples overnight, and increase your fluids and take probiotics.
