acne!! i'm too old for this!

[HoodooMan]

hi fellas! its been awhile since i've been here. i first signed up in 2007. i've been busy enjoying my sly-dom. and now i have a problem that maybe you can help me with!!

i'm 26, and have NEVER had any problems with acne, until the last several months. it just popped up on me. i've been using cuticura, witch hazel. i've been shaving with mach 3, aveeno shave gel, aveeno lotion after the shave. i also shave in the shower after the hair has softened up and i use a shave brush to apply the gel. same routine i've used for a few years now with no problems. what should i do? any additional ideas out there? i also change my sheets at least once a week, and my pillow case at least twice a week. i'm at a loss here. i feel like  a puberty stricken teenager! even though i never had acne problems then either!!

i appreciate any suggestions!

p.s., i'd also like to add that recently i've been trying aveeno face wash(instead of cuticura) for a change of pace for my skin. some areas have started to clear up whiles others continue to get irritated and break out worse!!

See a dermatologist.  He or she can probably prescribe something that will clear it right up.  Trying to self-treat these things is very hit or miss and will take much longer to find a solution, if you ever manage it, on  your own.

Clear.now blows proactiv away...have friends and family that have experienced great results with it.

This is the right answer--it could be acne but there are many other skin conditions that mimic the symptoms. See the doctor.
