Hello, i have recently discover a patch of small bumps/spots on my cheek. they seemed to come up from nowhere. 3 of them were white heads, which i popped, the other are merely pink bumps. what can i do to get rid of them? Will they scar? i used a chemical peel which has helped a bit, i saw a difference in the morning. Also i used clearasil rapid action spot cream.
