Is my skin purging after one month of using BHA? [Acne]

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Background: I have always struggled with some amount of acne and oily skin. Much of it was hormonal so taking the pill helped although it never cleared up fully. Usually I have a few big pimples a month. Then last year I started getting more breakouts (than the usual), and the type and location changed too. Instead of big ones on the forehead or chin I had a bunch of small itchy ones clustered together on my cheek.Current situation: A month ago I decided to try using cosrx BHA in an attempt to clear my skin. I did notice a slight increase in breakouts so I assumed I was purging. I have been using the BHA for a month, and while some of the initial spots have gotten better, I recently started getting small pimples on my forehead and chin. Can purging start that late? I thought maybe it was a reaction to the product, but if that was the case wouldn't it have caused the breakouts sooner?This pic is of the most recent forehead acne http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh629/pippercorn/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160828_223648_zpsv0f9gysv.jpgThis one is of the cheek acne that I've been having for a few months. http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh629/pippercorn/Mobile%20Uploads/c46ffda8-0722-44cf-8508-57268e99f864_zps8zmzwiah.jpgShould it stop the BHA or give it some more time?
