Acne: Things to consider: Do not rub skin, careful with bike helmets, backpacks or tight collars, decrease exposure to pollutants and humidity, no squeezing or picking at blemishes, do not scrub skin hard. Given you have been using astringents, and still having problems talk to your provider use of a topical or oral antibiotic may help.
