Question : I have a circular pattern of acne on my cheek. Only on one side. no other acne. my dermatologist has no idea what it is. I am taking Griseofulvin a week now no results. The acne is deep yet raised on the skin. It never develops into a normal pimple. Its been two months now and I have no positive results.
