Does anyone else suffer with adult acne? I get terrible cystic type spots, that start like a red hard lump on the chin area usually, and then eventually they weap yellow fluid and dry up, but it can take weeks and they mark my skin.
I usually get about 1-3 at a time. I have had 3 bad outbreaks now in the same area since September.
My gland sometimes comes up too in the jaw when they start.
Does anyone else suffer? Me being me I am worrying I will get septicemia from them or something. They really do trigger my anxiety when I am doing fine.:blush:
I have seen GP, and a skin specialist. They've told me accutane is the ony treatment for cystic acne which I can't have, so I have to just use topical treatments, such as zineryt. I have tried antibiotics but they made me quite unwell.
