I am 16 year old girl. I have the most stubborn kind of acne that stays for months on my face. I recently got rid of pimples on my cheeks that was 5 months old and again a big red pimple appeared at the same area 2 days ago. So my sister suggested me to apply betasalic ointment on acne twice a week. I did some research about this ointment on the internet and some website says its not good for acne while some says to apply that ointment everyday on effected area. I'm very confused if I should apply that ointment on my face or if yes than how many times a week?
