I have these little black dots (blackheads or something) on my face since I've given birth?

I gave birth to my first child a year ago, and since then I've had blackheads or little black dots on my cheeks. There's more on the right cheek than the left.





What are they?I have these little black dots (blackheads or something) on my face since I've given birth?
If you have blackheads, it's acne. To get rid of it, take my advice...


I'm studying to be a dermatologist. First, I'll tell you what some of the main causes of acne are: Hormones, Stress, Heavy or Oily Make-Up, Diets, Genes, Sweat, Dirt, Oil, Picking, Plucking, and Squeezing, Oil from when Your Hair gets on Your Face, Clogged Pores, Irritation, and Certain Face Washes. What you always need in your acne wash is Salicylic Acid. Not very many acne washes have this (surprisingly) except for Clearasil and and Neutrogena. I use Clearasil and it has definitely worked for me and I noticed a difference in just one week. When you start using a new acne wash, it's a good idea to only use it once a day and gradually increase to two or three times a day. You should wash your face before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning and of course whenever you get sweaty (after sports, work, etc.). After you wash your face, wait 5-15 min. before you put anything on your face. The water could still be on your face or in your pores even if it's not visible, so you have to wait for it to dry. Once you've waited, put Benzoyl Peroxide on your face (can be found in Clearasil Creams). The Benzoyl Peroxide will reduce zit size and redness and prevent acne from coming back. Be careful when you use Benzoyl Peroxide because if it gets in your hair, it could bleach the part it touched. The only good part about it, is that it will bleach facial hairs and make them not as visible. You also should not put on Benzoyl Peroxide if you are going out in the sun. If the sun has contact with the Benzoyl peroxide it could bleach your skin and leave a mark. Do not put on Benzoyl Peroxide if you have a sunburn on your face because it will dry out the sunburn and cause pealing. It's best if you use the same brand of products. I do not recommend using toners, astringents, or pads. Exfoliaters are not good for your face unless you have really dry skin. If you don't have a lot of dry skin, don't use exfoliaters because it can irritate your acne and cause more acne to appear. Do not pick or pop acne because it will only irritate it and create more acne. Also be sure to stay on a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Good Luck!!I have these little black dots (blackheads or something) on my face since I've given birth?
I know what those are. I've read about them. Those little black dots really are blackheads. You've probably been getting them due to stress from giving birth. What you need to do is wash your face every day, but don't scrub hard, it will irritate the skin. Also, drink lots of water, eat three meals a day, and put acne medicine on your blackheads. Medicine with benzoyl peroxide is really good, or so I've heard, but just to be sure you don't have an allergic reaction to it put a little bit on the inside of your wrist and leave it there for a while. If the test spot turns red, don't use it. Furthermore, good luck!
