Or specifically, with the spray-on Savlon that contains povidone iodine.
Three days until my 40th birthday and I am in the teeth of a massive acne outbreak. I can literally feel the bacteria multiplying under my skin, and once the spots that have started on the right-hand side of my nose make it across the middle, my left cheek will go the way of my right and then my whole face will be at it.
I've run out of the antibiotic cream from the doctors and TCP, Freederm, Effaclar (La Roche Posay) and so on are not touching it.
I've got some of this spray-on Savlon at home and am thinking very fond thoughts about a) how lovely and cool it would be and b) how it might actually arrest the bastard bacteria.
On the downside, of course, it would turn my face bright yellow and I'm not sure how easy it would be to get off.
Would appreciate any tips for a more reasonable course of action.
