Acne

Hi all, could someone please give me some advice on how to deal with the large white smelly spots that keep appearing. They seem to be getting worse and there is a very large one which will not go has been there for over a year

Re: Acne

Hello,

Thanks for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your trouble. I would strongly suggest that you see a Dermatologist or GP with experience in Dermatology. From your description I wonder if you have cysts or perhaps nodulocystic acne which will probably do well with tablet treatments, perhaps even isotretinoin- a strong acne treatment that should clear these up. I suspect that over the counter pharmacy treatments will not do the trick for you.

With best wishes
