Question : I am having severe breakouts on my cheeks from past 2 months. Firstly, it was acne and now I am having many pimples on my cheeks. Can I know the cause and any solution for that to reduce my pimples and marks and get a clear skin

Brief Answer:
Get examined to find the cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

In order to find the cause of acne and pimples you should get evaluated.
You need to do pus culture, culture of secretions from pimples to find the bacteria which may be causing it.
Also an ultrasound of the ovaries and hormone levels should be checked. Sometimes polycystic ovaries may be the cause of acne.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
