Hi
I have been suffering with acne for about 10 years. It goes through phases of being a bit better and then much worse. I've been to the doctor a number of times over the years and they are not particularly sympathetic and just say go on the pill (don't really want to as was on it for many years when younger), or give me creams which make my already dry skin become painfully dry and flaky, or give me antibiotics which does not seem to be a long term solution. They also told me not to wear make up which is completely unhelpful given I need to boost my confidence not make it worse by exposing my terrible skin particularly at work.
I don't really know what products to use for the best and try things but am not convinced they are helping or working well together. I have dry and sensitive skin, now getting wrinkles and big painful lumpy spots.
Do you have any advice for nutrition, products or dermatologists in the London area. I'm at the point that I'm willing to try anything!
