Stop the Spread of Acne

According to the book I read if you want to help the acne from spreading, apply acne medication about a half inch around the affected area. It explains that the medication really doesn’t fight the pimple you already have. Instead, it acts more like a preventive. Acne moves across the face from the nose out to the ear. You need to treat beyond the red inflammatory area. When you buy an OTC product, it says to apply it to the affected area. To most people the affected area is where they see the pimples. But that’s not the case at all.
