/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So since I've been home from uni, I've had more time and availability to have a consistent routine.

I have started to wash my face twice a day now, once when I wake up, and once before I sleep. I exfoliate once a week. I've also been putting on an avocado face mask usually about everyday and afterwards finishing up with salicylic acid and then moisturizer.

At first, my skin was improving, there was little to no redness and no bumps all over my face, but this certain area started to get worse over time. It's starting to get bumpy again, but now it's worse because my skin is crusting up and peeling off and causing scab-type things. It hurts to barely touch this area (pic related) because it's so wounded.

What should I do? I dont want to cut out my salicylic acid because it was working at first. I don't really know the main cause of it because the rest of my face is improving but this area isn't. I've washed my pillowcases and I never touch my face either.

(also are those little hairs on my cheeks normal, if not what should i do about it? it's not really a big problem compared to my acne atm)
