Question:
spots
Also posted in health...
I am 22 and over the last few months keep getting spots on my face and back which seem to be getting progressively worse.
I hardly ever got spots as a teenager and now, at the age when I am supposed to grow out of them they have got worse!
I've tried various face washes, oil free moisturiser etc but it hasn't seemed to have made any difference.
Can spots be caused by stress as I have been very stressed out with a situation at work recently?
Any tips/ideas?
hi miss murphy,
after having spot trouble for quite a while :( (and trying so many different spot creams/masks/washes etc that i'd almost given up hope of finding something) i eventually ended up using the Clearasil sensitive deep clearing gel wash (i think thats what its called!) and the Clearasil active spot treatment. have you tried either?
The combo of these two have been a real miracale worker for me - but its different for everyone i think. I don't know about spots on your back but have you tried any cleansing body washes? I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.
Stress does tend to contribute to spots though unfortunately, but drinking lots of water should help a bit.
hope this helps a bit :hug:

Hey MM i am the same as you, 22 and at xmas my face broke out in them and got worse and worse, i never suffered with spots when i was younger and dont get why they came up when they did
My face was so bad, it still is 3ish months down the line, i tried using different products and nothing worked although i think i was trying to much at 1 time! Now im just using my garnier face wash, some tea tree oil wipes and then this stuff my GP gave me its like a lotion and i put freederm on it when its dry dont think the freederm is working though but i spent £8 on it so want to use it!!
My face was looking better and staring to clear, although where i had spots, even though they have gone down i still have the red markings :( its TOTM now though and my face looks a mess once again
I hate it, my skin shouldnt be like this at my age especially when ive never had spot problems b4 :(
Thanks for the advice.
Loopyluna - I'm sure I don't drink enough during the day so maybe that isn't helping. Defo will try drinking more water.
Chelseaharvey - I know what you mean when you say skin shouldn't be like this at our age - my 15 year old sister has better skin than I have. Not fair!
im the same im 23 never got spots when i was younger.
i have loads just now. they come i really sore and nothing works.
i use garnier pure face wash and dab tcp on a cotton bud on each one to dry them up (it does say on back of bottle to do this! i was shocked when mum suggested it!)
