For me, this is acne on the cheeks is actually somewhere that I have never really had much of a problem. However, that doesn't mean I can't help you if this is your problem area. Much like chin and lip acne, cheek acne can be quite embarrassing. Lip acne probably comes in first place though. Anyway, when you have a pimple or a zit in this area, it can cause a lot of major problems; Especially when you try to pop or pick it.
Problem with Cheek Pimples
The problem is often caused by the soft skin. As you're already probably well-aware, your cheeks are often the softest part of your face. This can cause major problems for those that like to touch, pick, and try to pop zits in these locations.
Compared to hard locations of the skin, such as the forehead, the cheek must always be taken care of extremely gently. I'm not saying that other places of your face shouldn't be taken with the same care, but you must be extremely gentle with your cheeks.
