Those areas are usually to do with your hormones. Ask to get your hormones tested to see if you may have an imbalance. It is best to get tested on day 21 of your cycle. So if you keep a period diary you can work out when that is. I get similar acne and what really helps me is Paula's Choice clear anti redness exfoliating solution. You put it on with cotton wool and it is 2% salicylic acid and it really helps with the inflammation and pain because those types of spots can sometimes be too deep and painful to pop. It is quite expensive but really worth it if your acne is painful. I have tried many other salicylic acid products and none of them helped much not like this one.
Try cutting down your sugar and if you drink alcohol give up for a bit and see if it helps, if it is your hormones, both sugar and alcohol make your skin worse.
