Figuring out

I'm 28 years old I just figured out what I've been doing by google searching. I've been picking at my acne for a while now. If I see a white head I will pop it and use tweezers to peel the skin. My thought process during this is well if I peel it my makeup can cover it, that not the case. I get weeping wounds not super huge but I'm obsessed with mirrors. I use polysporin which sometimes helps but I have to use makeup I can't leave the house without it. Mac Pro long wear concealer is the best thus far to cover. I need help obviously with picking. Also help with products to help heal

Hey:) I know just how you feel. I can't even go the shop or sit in my house without make up. I recommend using calamine lotion I've been using it two weeks and there is a big difference in my skin. I put it on as a mask and it will dry on your face so you can't pick. And its worked great on my acne because I have oily skin it drys it out:) but you haveto stop your self from picking. Try telling your partner or a friend who can help you mine has helped me loads. Hope this helps x
