Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of blemishes on the cheeks which is due to pores which are a pathway of oil to skin produced by sebaceous gland. Sometimes the duct of these glands get clogged and sebum start accumulate which further get infected to form acne.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you wash your face more than twice a day to remove excess oil with mild soap and apply SPF 30 cream to protect skin from UV radiation. You should use salicylic acid based cleanser to reduce oil production and apply vitamin E oil at night. If the condition still persists then consult dermatologist and doctor may prescribe you benzoyl peroxide based cream, azelaic acid-based cream or topical antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
