Spots!
Hi can anyone help, I'm 26 yr old male and generally my complexion is ok, a few random minor zits but nothing terrible. However I have 2 reoccuring super spots. They flare up about every 2/3 months in exactly the same place (either side of my chin) and always both together. They start off as hard, sore, lumps under the skin and over a few days they become enflamed and red. Unlike other spots they don't eventually get a 'head' they just eventually die off, usually after 7 - 10 days. I wash with an antibacterial wash twice daily and use 'quinoderm' cream which is effective on most of my smaller spots.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received?
Thanks

Go to a dermatologist. You have reocurring acne, and it's likely that you won't be able to get rid of it without prescription medicine. A dermatologist can give you acne pills that will help to keep the reoccuring spots away/to a minimum and he can suggest other face washes that are right for you.
I recommend ProActive, though.

happenes to everyone, and they are mega hard to get rid of! try neutrogena, HSN products and serious skin care products (last 2 are from tv)
good luck!

well everytime that time comes around, eat really healthy.. and i mean REALLY healthy! tons of raw or grilled veggies with fruits (make sure the fruits have antioxidants in them, because those will calm your skin down) and stay low on the protein. drink as much water as you can and get plenty of rest.. if that doesn't work, then try a facial cleanser (because it'll dry out the oil there) and follow through with a toner and moisturizer. i'd recommend l'occitane (at their boutiques or at sephora), sheiseido(most major dept stores), or dior(most major dept stores). they're all really good products. dont use that antibacterial stuff either, it doesn't sound too good, also.. try not to touch your face because your hands have oils on them which can irritate your face

ok..well you could change the wash that your using but sometimes even washing your face doesnt help...but the best thing to do would be to go to a dermotologist or just your doctor they can tell you whats best.

You should tell your parents even tho they'll get mad it better that you hiding the test from them the earlier you show them it the less madder they would be i mean if you hide the test from them for a long time they would a get very mad at you

This sounds like either recurring eczema or psoriasis. You really need to see a dermotologist. Washing doesn't always help, and in some cases, can harm the area. Since it is on your chin and not elbows, fingers, etc, it is more likely to be eczema, especially if pathy. Eczema will flair up when weather patterns shift - especially moving into dryer weather. Stress can also effect it. Exfoliating cleansers like noxema can help. But really, for something that recurs that frequently, you should try to see at least your doctor, if not be referred to a specialist, just to make sure you're doing the proper thing and not creating a worsening medical condition.

I've never heard of anything like that but I'd honestly suggest you go see a dermatologist or your doctor so they can really tell you exactly what it is and give you something for it. Dude, this site is filled with 13 year olds who think they know everything... You're going to get the same advice from everyone; go talk to a dermatologist or your doctor. They will actually know what they are talking about. Sorry that wasn't much help. But I hope I helped a little!

Try clinque priducts they really work!

Hmmm, I dont know what it can be. It might be an infection though. You should really go get it checked out by a doctor or dermatologist though. Hope whatever it is isn't bad!!!
