Dd (18) has always had nice skin. Occasional spot (or sometimes a small breakout of spots ) around her period, but clear the rest of the time. Very pale and delicate, sensitive skin.
She was away this Summer working outside in high heat and humidity, she needed a lot of sunblock as she is so fair, and when she came home she was quite spotty which didn’t seem surprising given the humid conditions and all the sun cream every day.
However, that was several weeks ago, and it is not clearing up and actually getting worse. She has spots on her temple on one side, near her hair, and between her eyebrows. She does touch her face a lot there out of habit, pushing her hair back etc. She is getting very stressed and upset about it . I bought her some 47skin products I had seen advertised, they helped slightly but still new spots. Hormonally she seems slightly out of kilter . Her cycle is a bit long, periods are roughly regular but one was two weeks late, and her PMT is worse. I am not sure if that warrants a GP trip ?
She is feeling very self conscious now about her skin and I wonder if there is anything I can get her, or do, that might help. I think strong anti spot stuff, eg the Benzoyl peroxide based ones, would be too much for her skin.
