I get acne around my mouth all the time. I'm 19 (Female) and I don't know how to get rid of it. Does anyone have any tricks or tips? I've tried a bunch of exfoliants, moisturise/tone/cleanse/drink water/ eat healthy, all the things you're supposed to do for clear skin, all to no avail.
Pic related, it's similar to what I have.
see a doctor or dermatologist since hygiene, diet etc hasn't worked.
Squeeze them...

Dont cover it with too much make up it will just make things worse.Only when you go out to nigh clubs for eg. Its hormonal and individual thing. I had very bad case of acne that i had since 14 yro till 20-21 and you realy cant do much about it,as i also tryed everything.So you need to suck it up and live it it untill it passes.It can get reduced by showering more often and with smooth skin soap.Also dont squieeze them hard with fingernails because it will leave scars which stay forever, as i regret now..Dont drink too much alchohol or eat too much fat food because it affects your skin.I washed my face every 3-4 hours during day with only cold water and used clean towel which i only use in my house, thats very important. Also change it often, once per week or less since you will wipe your clean face after wash so it wont get much dirty. It realy helped me to reduce it because i have very oily skin.

Try finding ways to reduce stress in your life. I've got some hormonal acne as well, and whenever I'm stressed it flares up worse.

Go to a doctor.
I can't take medication for acne since I have other problems. What helped me clear up was
>An appropriate skincare
>A diet with little diary and yeast
>A lot of veggies and fruit
>No make up
>Working out
