I am 24 and have the same issues. I’m afraid it is intestinal. It MUST be my internal health, but I don’t know what. Have you researched fungal acne? I looked into that, but wasn’t sure the symptoms were accurate. It’s an easy cause to overlook, though. The woman who does my facials scolded me when I went in with several large bulbous cysts that were all deep and on my cheeks. She lectured me on my internal health and said that if I committed to drinking half a gallon of water a day plus start taking a Probiotic vitamin every day (a kind of multivit) that I’d see results in 2 months. I haven’t been religious about it, but have been doing better about water. Maybe an intense detox for intestines and colon would be helpful. I’ve often thought of that. Good luck, I’m so ready to have my self-esteem back. You’re not alone!

Oh my goodness. This is so true. 7 months ago, I started getting these weird abdominal pains and there started to be tons of clogged pores on my cheeks. Just this week, I went to a doctor, and she diagnosed it as a bacterial problem, and gave me this medicine that would make my stomach acid less acidic (also used to heal stomach ulcers), and my mom mentioned to me that my stomach problem probably caused my cheek acne! & now that I see this, I have so much hope that my cheeks will clear up soon (and I can stop using retin A)!! One of the happiest moments ever.

Yeah, try to look at improvements from your internal system first. It should help.
