Any ways to get rid of and prevent acne nodules?

I don’t have bad acne, I get a few pimples here and there, but it seems like every couple weeks ill get a large nodule acne, their usually just one and they are large and painful. I wash my face twice a day and drink at least a gallon of water a day. And they always appear around the same place too, right around my chin and one spot on my forehead. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
