Spots - Arghhhh

[cymruambyth1]

I have never been a person who is prone to spots, but over the last few months, I have just had an attack of them and I just can't get rid of them. Every now and again I would get the odd few spots just before my period, but nothing like this!

They are mostly around my mouth and my forehead and are really starting to get me down. It isnt nice when you go out for a weekend with your mates and all I see in the pictures they take is my spotty face.

I have tried different facial wipes with witch hazel in them, germolene, my boyf is going to get some cream he use to get and said it worked for him, but is very strong and will bleach my pillow case! Could this be harmful?

Thanks in advance.

My daughter suffers with spots and the one thing that we have noticed that makes a difference is keeping away from dairy products.

Any creams, lotions and potions she has tried make her face sore and red. We went to the GP and she was prescribed a short course of antibiotics to start the healing process. They do seem to be getting a lot better.

Good luck.

I recently discovered some new facial wipes for spotty faces and they are brilliant. I am now 40 years old and have had bad skin since the age of about 10.Over the years I have tried every prescription and over the counter remedy available.The only one that previously worked was a contraceptive pill called Dianette,now that I am over 35 my GP won't prescribe it for me.
The wipes I now use are Neutrogena Visibly Clear-Rapid Clear Wipes,they are available at most large supermarkets and chemists.

Hi cymru - Try Sudocrem, it's really very good! Wash with an unscented soap like 'simple' xxx

an easy and cheap try is using baby shampoo very diluted as a face wash, it has anti bacterial effects.
