Normally I don't get many spots on the cheeks, the outbreaks tend to be higher up on my forehead or upper cheeks. A day or two after the test it was a little red but nothing too bad. It then faded until about 5 days later it started coming up like this. It's not sore or itchy. I've not been in the sun, followed the advice given. I did shave over it a few times. Should I continue with treatment or is this a sign that I may scar? Thanks for the help. Robyn
