What could be the reason for recurring small blemishes in similar locations on my cheeks?

I am wondering how to manage a situation where a small blemish appears on my cheek, subsides, and then reappears in a similar spot a few days later. Even if multiple blemishes don't flare up severely at once, it feels like my skin never gets a chance to clear up completely when they repeatedly appear in the same area. Sometimes they feel slightly uncomfortable to the touch before subsiding, while other times they seem to remain like small granules without turning red.

Could recurring breakouts in specific areas be caused by sebum or dead skin cells not being properly cleared from the pores? I’ve heard that the cosmetics I use and my lifestyle habits can also have an impact, so I’m unsure where to start checking.

I am wondering if receiving acne treatment allows for not only clearing up existing breakouts but also managing them to reduce the frequency of recurrence. I would also like to know if the cause can be identified even if I have a consultation on a day when my breakouts have subsided, and if explaining my usual skin condition helps in determining the right course of care. I want to start treatment before any marks are left behind.
