I'm 46yo and have something growing on my face, more year by year…
My mum has same thing & was told they were "non-cancerous cysts" & to keep an eye on them.
They do NOT look like pimples AT ALL, they do NOT contain anything that could be "ejected". Past trials by myself have include ridiculously-hard pressure to try to explode them = didn't help. Tried cutting them off with ultra-sharp knife = it bled, but did not improve.
We've JUST started on Proactive, but don't know if it will help, since we don't know EXACTLY what our problem is called.
Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
Sorry, no pici available at moment.
hi i have ALOT of spots on my face and have had them since i was 9. i am now 13 and they still haven't gone away. i have bought and tried so many face cleansers but they don't work. sometimes they might fade a bit but then when i think they are going i get a really big outburst in them. i also get spots on my shoulders and arms and i don't like to wear vests because they show so much and i get very hot and sweaty when i do my sports. i fell very left out at school when my friends are talking about their boyfriends and stuff when i haven't even got a friend who is a guy. please help i am very depressed :( :(
I had acne on my back and would get spots on my face after shavng, i tried everything the best I found have been having a bath in tea pure tree oil and warm water and my doctor perscribed "Zineryt" it has worked for me.
Hey, I've had terrible acne for about 2 years now,and my friends are really insensitive about it. At first i just thought it would clear up after a while, but its come to the point where i don't want to leave the house. It's really effecting my confidence, is there any treatments that actually work? I've tried just about all the skin products you would find in Boots.
Thankyou so much.

I have had on-going acne since I was 9. Im 14 now and its still really embrassing. The doctor treatments don't work. But i've read that honey can help to get rid of them. Is that true? What else can I do at home to help get rid of it and how can I get rid of all this oily skin on my face? Please help!
