A member asked:
I wash my acne-prone face every morning and before bedtime, is it ok to wash my face if my pimples itch?

Yes: Get treated for your acne as it seems to bother you. Start with benzoyl peroxide; if not clear in two weeks, your doctor can write for a retinoic acid derivative and/or topical Clindamycin or something similar. If just on your face this should do it; or you may get a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline 500 2x/day. All acne is treatable nowadays.
