Def go see a dermatologist so you can take care of this before it gets worse. In the meantime, here's a few things I do to keep my breakouts at bay:
1. Use oil free face products
2. Don't touch your face or put your face directly on unclean surfaces (for ex: your desk)
3. Change your pillowcases frequently (at least once a week)
4. Wash your face twice a day
5. MOISTURIZE!
6. Drinks lots and lots of water

Use a salicylic acid cleanser like Neutrogena deep clean cream cleanser and a witch hazel toner and spot treat the pimple with tee tree oil spot treatment or benzoyl peroxide spot treatment and moisturize with a gentle moisturizer like cerave your young and need to establish a good skincare routine and your hormones will cause breakouts but taking care of your skin now is important ,you don't have what is considered acne just a minor breakout so sometimes a skincare routine will be all you need if you see it's not helping or getting worse consult a derm but give it atleast six weeks.

Mallory definitely nailed it! And make sure not to wash your face tooo much as this can dry out you skin, which in turn makes your skin produce too much oil, which clogs your pores and causes more spots.
Trust me, I learnt this the hard way, lol

This may also be due to hormones. You said you're going into 7th grade, so now would be about the time you start getting 'puberty' breakouts. Unfortunately, some girls your age feel the need to cover it up using heavy foundations and concealers, which only make the problem worse. Avoid the makeup and let your face breathe.

If this acne is hormonal, it's all the more reason that you SHOULDNT start wearing face makeup (foundation, bb cream, concealer, blush, bronzer) as I mentioned in your other post. Clogging your pores with makeup will only make this issue MUCH worse.
