I've been dealing with pretty bad acne on my cheeks lately, with new pimples popping up almost every other day. These turn into pus-filled spots and end up leaving some dark marks behind. The skin in that area seems almost lifeless now, with open pores that easily turn into blackheads and whiteheads. Whenever I try to deal with those, it often leads to more pimples or even injuries. Is there anything I can do to improve this situation? I'm 36 and I'm currently using Tivenca gel, Divaine 50 mg tablets twice daily, Ahaglow face wash, and a CDC solution with calamine, sulphur, and salicylic acid, along with Episoft. Does this sound like the right approach or should I be doing something different?

I'm having these really painful lumps under my arms and they're starting to form pus. It's super uncomfortable and only seems to get better when the pus drains out. Could you recommend a cream or maybe an antibiotic that could help with this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing an infection, possibly an abscess or hidradenitis suppurativa. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, applying warm compresses can help relieve pain, and an antibiotic cream like **mupirocin** might be helpful if prescribed. If the condition worsens, oral antibiotics may be necessary.
