I have Acne on my face. I get it especially around my lips the space between my upper lip and my nose, and around my chin. At first I thought it might of been herpes, so I saw my physician, got tested for all STDs, and came up completely healthy. Still I get this Acne that looks like cold sores. They start off as big bumps, turn red, and with in a few days leave a white head to emerge. Depending on how heavily I try to medicate the acne, the whitehead may emerge sooner. I've found that drying the Acne out as much as possible delays the emergence of the whitehead and the more moisture I give it, the faster the whitehead emerges. I've switched different acne medications such as OxiPads, facial cloths from neutrogena, Apricot facial scrubs, and even ProActiv. All have given me limited success. So I'm lefting asking what this acne might be since they're not cold sores and how they can best be treated, before I make another appointment with my physician again. It should also be noted that I get this same kind of acne around my lips around my jaw line, especially the area of my jaw where my sideburns are.
