I have combination skin which is generally 'okay'- not luminous or silky etc, but it holds my organs in adequately, so I can live with that.
In march I ended up with an abscessed appendix, so had a couple of days of intravenous AB's and another ten days of tablets. Ever since then, my skin has been a nightmare! Very dry and very greasy and worst of all, loads of spots (cystic acne type). Mainly on my face but also (so embarrassed) on my thighs and bum :(
Boots tea tree cream is very good I've found, but every time one spot goes down another flares up. And when it comes to my face, any products that work on the spots also dry my skin even worse.
Relevant info, I'm 41. Appendix is still in situ until I get a date for operation. Also on a fixed income, so anything costing more than about a fiver is out :( However I'm very open to natural/home remedies!
