I suffer with adult acne, I can random 2-3 spots but they always swell up nasty and last weeks, like big hard lumps.
Last week 2 were infected as they kept weeping yellow fluid from them if I knocked the heads, they dont always get heads on them.
I use Zineryt lotion from GP on them and it worked well, but obviously doesn't keep my skin from breaking out, just controls them if they appear. I always have a few on the go. Last week GP gave me fusidic acid as 2 were infected and it worked great. I woke up this morning with a nasty red one on the side of my nose that really hurts and is swollen in the area around, i look like I have a fat nose now, lol!
GP said there is little point in trying oral antibiotics as last time they did (Lymecyline) it flared up my IBS and stomach acid so he doesn't want to try anymore as I am very sensitive to them. The only one I am fine with is AMoxicillin and he said that is useless for skin conditions
Does anyone else suffer like this? I have had a bad 12 months with them and I am 32 now. My mum suffers like me also.
I saw GP last night and feel I walked away with no help:-( He just said all I can do is carry on with the Zineryt, but that does not help me anymore. I have tried a few topical lotions and Zineryt was the only one that worked and suited me, anything with Benzol Peroxide just burnt my skin.
I am just worried why the area is all puffed out arround it, I look like someone has clacked me on the nose, lol! My husband says it is normal for the area around a spot to swell as it is just fighting the infection.
