Do not pop the zits, it leads to more scarring. Visit this site for effective home care for acne: http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/acne/acne-vulgaris-home-treatment Wish you good health!

This is the time to go to a Dermatologist. You need a medicated cleanser( try salicylic acid 2% wash in the meantime) once a day. The Derm can give you a stronger Retinoid than Adapalene, a topical antibiotic, a very new cream for severe acne and even offer laser for it. Don’t pop your zits because you may scar.Wear a sunblock to avoid dark marks.You may or may not need orals
