Embarrassing Illnesses

I am 25 and have only had spots in adult life. I dont suffer from many yellow heads the main problem i have are large red lumps on my face which are sore and they mainly come up around my chin. I went to the doctor who prescribed the Duac cream and Diannett pill, after 12 months the yellow heads had completly disappeared but the large red lumps remained. I returned to the Doctors and was prescribed Differin Gel and Yasmin pill but i had an awful allergic reaction to the Differin Gel and so stopped using it. The lumps have remained and are very upsetting. I have no spots anywhere else on my body and find it very embarrasing and hate going to work when i look like this.

im 14 nearly 15 and ive had spots sice i was 11 and i am the only one out of my siblings to have spots. They are red and are sore. Is that normal?

i have had spots for years and i have tried so many treatments from the gp, stores, homeopaths but none of them worked. Then i went to a dermatologist and she really helped me. At first the treatments werent working but we talked about it and i tried a stronger pill roaccutane. It is amazing and the results are great. There were side affects during the treatment like dryness but i dont regret any of that now i have spot free skin. It was worth it.

hey im 15 and ive had acne for years but in the past month there have been alot more spots on my back and neck is this right to happen

I'm 27, I have suffered with spots on my arms and the backs of my thighs for over 10 years. They would itch like crazy and my unblemished skin would its – it wasn't until I nearly took a patch off that my parents insisted I go see a doctor. After 6 annoying months of dermatologists I was told I had Urticaria and prescribed masses of antihistamines. I've taken them for almost a year now and while my skin doesn't itch anymore, I still get the spot.

hi im 16 and have suffered with spots for 3 years its on my face, arms, chest and back and my skin is really greasy ad i had alot on blackheads on my nose . i have tried everything tablets, creams loads of stuff but it never worked. i went to my dermotologist and she put me on roacutane its been my second month on them now and ive gotta say they have worked great i have barely got any spots on my chest or back anymore and i only have a few on my arms and face now its really good because its dried up my skin and my skin aint greasy anymore on my face. the only thing is about the tablets is you have to cream alot with doublebase cream and you get really bad side effects like really dry lips, bloody nose etc and you have to have a blood test every two weeks. the tablets are really strong and it is working for me so people who suffer with acne or spots try roacutane
