The acne keeps going around my lips and hurts like a..haha. I'm wondering if you have anything that will make it not show up as much, and why it's only going around my lips.

I'm guessing that you bring your hands close to your mouth, often. That's probably why it's mostly in that area, first try to keep your hands away from your face, AT ALL TIMES. Make sure to wash the area alot, and I'd try a tinted acne cream, but don't use too much because it'll stick out like a sore thumb even more than before. Subtle... is the answer.

Acne can be caused in teenagers just from the hormonal aspect of being a teen and genetics (that stinks!)
Many products on the market just don't work. If they work, what I am going to tell you is probably some of the ingredients in acne products.
To clean your face:
You can use oatmeal and add water. Rub this on your face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Oatmeal is a natural astringent that dries the skin.
Rinse off with water. Get a spray bottle or dab your face with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
Then if you want to, you can dab some hydrogen peroxide afterwards. By scratching pimples you can cause an infection so the hydrogen peroxide helps.
And stop touching your hair and face during the day. Do this treatment at least 2 x a day.
Here are other treatments you can try.
After you wash your face with a soap like Aveeno, use a cotton ball to clean oil from the skin with this cooling astringent.
Using Neosporin - Dad a little Neosporin on pimples and blemishes. The antibiotic helps clear up acne.
Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. Using this as a facial mask helps dry up the excess oils from your face, and dabbing it on pimples to reduce redness and to speed up healing.
Using ReaLemon. Rub the ReaLemon lemon juice over blackheads before going to bed. In the morning, wash of the juice with cool water. Repeat this for several nights and you should see a big improvement in the skin. Also dab ReaLemon on any blemish a few times during the day when you have a chance.
When you break out in pimples, mix 1 tsp of Corn Starch with 1 tsp of ReaLemon lemon juice to make a paste. Apply to the affected areas and then let dry. This treatment eliminates the redness and helps pimples dry up faster.
Remember, always consult your doctor before using any of the above treatments.

Increase water intake, avoid greasy food and diary with hormones and hormone meat go organically to avoid artificial estrogen.

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.
For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.
Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

ask yourself.....do i wear chapstick,lipgloss,or lipstick? most acne around the lips is caused from a blockage of pours because of a very thick moisturizer such as a lip product..try to avoid these for a week and use a q-tip with an astringent on it to dab on the problem areas.

That does hurt like a btch doesn't it. There's not much you can do about it besides wait for it to heal and put a topical cream like benzol peroxide on it. Sorry.

I agree that it sounds like Herpes (HSV Type 1). If so a prescription will clear it up very quickly. Go to a doctor.
