Help me to sort my skin out!

Hi all, I'd like to get my skin sorted out, I have spot related marks on my face. I'm nearly 42 and still get spots once a month around my period. I'm happy to consider anything - Botox, fillers, whatever but don't know where to start or who to talk to - dermatologist, Botox clinic/beauticians/ private hospital?!? Any advice?

Help me to sort my skin out!

Acne sufferer since the age of 12 here Sad
My doctor and dermatologist both told me that persistent acne that only affects the chin/jawline is almost always hormonal! (Having said that, not taking your make up off will aggravate the spots that are already there, but is probably not causing them!)
Diet changes can help. Sugar causes insulin surges which can wreak havoc with your hormones. Dairy products are full of cow hormones (cow breast milk and all that Confused ) which then messes with your hormone balances.
I cut out dairy completely (due to an unrelated digestion issue!) and my skin drastically improved, along with proper skincare.
