I'm a women in my late 20's and A few months ago o started breaking out all over my neck , tiny white puss spots and big painful spots , also my cheeks were coverd in a rash effect spot ....
I've never had skin like it , I was rigividon contraceptive pill free for around 1 year 4 months ...im now back on it as my ski. Has always been better with it ... Anyway ....
My doctor gave me duac , and it has helped clear it .
But it's almost at the point where I have to stop using it. I'm worried the spots will come back ....
My skin is very sensitive ( I never wear foundation apart from special occasions )
My skin will break out if make up touches it:(

Hi, I had to use Duac after being on steroids. My skin is great now, though I do have an occasional spotty outbreak. I use Acnecide, when I do, which has the benzoyl peroxide that Duac has in, but not the antibiotic, and I use Dermol as a moisturiser, as it has an antimicrobial effect. Both are available over the counter.

Your skin might be fine though. Mine only tends to break out in the heat, although it was quite bad when I was between Mirena coils!
