Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query acne problem since last one year and pimple on cheeks which occurs when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. you should avoid oily and fried food. You should start with use of topical antibacterial clindamycin gel as a spot treatment for acne during day time and at night you may use a topical retinoid like Adapalene gel. Apply mashed potatoes on face to lighten skin. Exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin from your face. Apply betnovate on acne twice a day for 2-3 days. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin or isoteritenoin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
