Problems Solved

14) Spots Alex

Does anyone here have a problem with spots? Because I do. I really don't like them. I've got a fringe so that you can't see them on my forehead, but they are seriously taking over my nose. I must have thousands of bottles of creams etc. But none of them seem to working that well. Face masks are Ok, but they feel funny.  Please reply if you have any 'special' creams etc that help you get rid of spots quickly. Luv Alex Reply

re: Spots Cookie 

80% of people get spots in their teens, so it's nothing to be particularly embarrassed about. Try some of the normal different soaps, facial scrubs and wipes you can buy, but sometimes plain, unperfumed soap is best, but if normal treatments aren't helping then you could  try pharmacy treatments such as Quinoderm, which you don't need a prescription for, but you have to ask a pharmacist. 

If they continue then go to your GP. Remember, you aren't wasting his/her time - they'll see loads of spot cases, and some will be much worse than you can imagine. If it's affecting your self confidence then make an appointment. They can prescribe antibiotics and all sorts of other treatments, and they will find something that works. Reply
