Have you been prescribed antibiotics at all and/or the pill?

MiniMarmite · 24/07/2009 13:23

sorry, just realised abs in your OP!

MiniMarmite · 24/07/2009 13:25

Oh, and do you have quite a stressful job?

It might be worth checking if you have rosacea which can cause spots as well as redness. I've had spots for years - I've been using Rosex cream (from GP) for three months my skin is clear.

I've tried oil cleansing method for a couple of months. My skin feels nicer - sort of plumper and softer, but the spot problem hasn't changed at all. Dianette never really worked for me either, and I don't want to go back on the pill now anyway.

I do have a stressful job, but not for much longer, and I do touch my face, but I'm sure could stop doing that. They are good suggestions.

I have also tried chinese herbal medicine but didn't help! It was a long time ago so I might try again.

Rupert, can I suggest cleansing with Cetaphil? You get it from the chemist and it's as cheap as chips, and recommended by dermatologists. It has made a huge difference to my skin. I have topical ABs (Dalacin T) for the odd break out, but rarely get them now.

Acupuncture. And mineral makeup.

Aesop products.

Zineryt lotion is great in a crisis, too - drying at first, but the skin adapts.
