It is deep acne, something no medication, no TV ads, no amount of cleaning face can help. It is horrible, painful, and never actually goes away. My mother, at 67, still gets those deeeep pimples that hurt to the bone. It’s a sort of disease, like rosacea, it infects the pores. Infections leave scars. So does picking a scab. Stop picking. A scar on your face looks worse, the older you get. Trust me on that.
