Asked By:Passionate711356 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

i was wondering what is causing the textural irregularities on my cheeks. i've never had major/cystic acne in this area but sometimes i get blackheads/clogged pores/etc(?) which contain stringy pus when squeezed. I've tried differin xp, retin-a, aha, bha, 1 session of morpheus 8 + prp, and 1 session of electrodessication and all seem to have little effect. (electrodessication might have helped a little i can't really tell). Is this sebaceous hyperplasia and if so would accutane work?
