Can Whiteheads On The Face Cause Pimples?
how can you tell when your acne is going away? ive had about 10 whiteheads on my left cheek that had progressed into actual pimples within the past two weeks & they re not as swollen now. whenever i touch them they feel like scabs & they ve flattened down. so does that mean they re going away?
