Somebody tell me what to do. All of a sudden, I've got loads of spots and boils on my chin, I look awful and every time I look in the mirror I scream. This has been going on for about a month and its really getting me down. I cleanse every night, use exfolaiator once a week and steam clean my face twice a week, but I still get these horrible outbreakes. I used to have really good skin, but now I jsut look a mess.

I have had this. It might be acne rosacea (don't quote me on it)
The likeliehood is you need a course of antibiotics. They will clear it up on no time

well at least you've kept your sense of humour!

can't offer any help I'm afraid but have you seen your GP you can get some good stuff from them - you might as well pay the prescription fee as some extortionate amount for over the counter stuff that may not work.

May be you should give your face a rest from steaming and cleaning it may be making it worse.
