I have my school ID picture in exactly one week and I have so much acne (pimples on my cheeks, blackheads and whiteheads around my nose)! I would put makeup on but I feel like if I put makeup on I'm just going to make it worse. How can clear up my face?

A week is pretty quick! See if you can get in with a good derm in your area. Alternatively, you can start with a benzoyl peroxide over the counter wash.

I hope your pics are gorgeous!
