“Used a dry loofah on my face...I guess you know what happened?”

A long time ago I scrubbed my face with a loofah...but it was dry. I thought exfoliation means scrubbing your face hard to remove dead skin cells but I guess I was wrong it was also the first I actually used a loofah or any scrub to do anything so I didn't know it had to be wet.

Soon after I had done that mistake my cheeks were in pain and after like a couple of seconds it just started becoming really red, and then after a while, I read online that you should just leave your skin to heal so after I left it for while acne started appearing!

It's not like crazy crazy acne but the thing that annoys me the most is that they've become flat after a while but they still look red! A couple of days ago I started I guess kinda caring about my skin so I just started applying some skin cream thingies I think they're healing but it's close to a year now or maybe it's been a year idk and they still haven't fully left my face.

I'm not really that bothered by them but I still wanna know if they're gonna go away or not and if so when.
