Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red, pus-filled sores on the cheeks . The red pus filled sores can occur due to folliculitis , sun burn or skin infection .I would suggest you to start applying mashed potatoes on your skin and keep it for 10-15 mins 2 times a day. You should give daily application of Glycolic acid 6 percent and retino a cream over your scars as it will lighten scars. Apply cotton dipped in tea tree oil and apply them on acne. Take diet rich in vitamin E. Drink plenty of water. Apply Adapelene gel once at night. Also wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics and anti inflammatory . You can apply aloe vera gel on them as well. Don't use ant cosmetics and hard substances on face.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
