Question:
I look horrendous
Hi Beauty baggers,
I don't usually post here but I'm at the end of my tether with my skin and need advice.
From the age of 12 till about25 my skin was awful, I was very self conscious about it and wouldn't ever leave the house without makeup.
The last few years it has calmed down alot but the last couple of weeks it has just erupted :(
I have loads of spots around my chin and one which was under the skin for ages has just decided to turn into a huge scap. I feel like shutting myself in the house and not leaving till they've healed but it seems like each day there is yet another spot.
Can anyone recommend something to help my skin heal quicker or keep away fuurther outbreaks?
I bought Garnier Pure skin wash laast week but it makes my face so tight I don't think it's helping much
Thank you in advance
Hi there
I feel your pain, Im 30 and still on treatment for spots, they just seem to keep coming back and its so bloody unfair!!!
Have you been to you docs? Mine has been really helpful. In the past I was referred to a dermatologist and prescibed Roaccutane which worked brilliantly unfortunately 2/3 years later they came back and Im now on a milder form, of the drug which seems to work.
I found having a simple skincare routine helps too. Nothing to harsh and drying.
get to teh docs though, they can and will help.

Hi coops,
Thanks for the reply.
It's literally only just flared up again in the last week or 2, I am on Dianette mainly for my skin which usually keeps it under control.
I took all kinds of antibiotics and precription creams in my teens, none of which seemed to really work.
Can you recommend any simple, gentle products I could try?
well found Liz earles Cleanse and Polish good, you can usually find it a bit cheaper on ebay.
I wonder whats caused it to flare it up again? Anything canged recently? Could be stress. I find Sudocreme brilliant at healing spots so give that a whirl.
If it carries on then head back to docs

TBH i would only use gentle things on your face now.
Anything said to help with acne is mor elikely to take all the sebum off your face,meaning your face will then produce more...
Stick to the basics.
I find a little savlon helps sometimes too
