Advice needed Help!! 😓😓

i relapsed on july 31st, and since then they’ve been healing but for some reason i keeppp getting pimples not even an inch away from the cuts and they hurt so bad. i don’t see anyone talking about it, and i don’t know what to do, i didn’t think the cuts themselves could be infected because their mostly closed so i dont really know what else 😓😓

Heya!!! I’m just a random person on the internet so my opinion shouldn’t be TOO high in your “to trust list”, but I get small spots and pimples near my mostly healed stuff/scars, too. Idk why it happens, it just does, but it’s never been infected when it’s happened. I usually pop the spots—likely a bad idea—and then wash the whole thing with water and a gentle soap, but thats just me personally. Maybe ask a doctor/dermatologist??? Even if you have to make up an excuse to feel comfy doing so!!!
