I've been breaking out a lot on my cheeks. i eat healthy, wash my face and use prescribed acne treatment. i don't know why my face still breaks out?

Don't ask why: You're going to need stronger acne Rx until it remits on its own. Get with your personal physician. I trust you're using topical benzoyl peroxide and/or retinoic acid, and some added prescription Rx. SInce you're a female (right?) you may be a candidate for adding spironolactone.
