Hello I'm just new here. I joined because I am so sick of my skin now it's become a joke. I've always had bad skin, especially around my chin area. Quite recently I've figured out that when I've been out in the sun I get these little white puss filled spots that are really sore and when they are burst they are just full of water. I get married in September and I don't want my skin to look as bad as it does. I have took a photo of my skin right now, it was sore this morning ni had a bath and used my normal skincare and now a few hours later they have filled up again with puss. Can anyone help me? I went to the docs a few years ago but they gave me some cream, it worked for a while but now nothing seems to work

You really should visit a dermatologist. If you start treatment now, your acne may be under control by your wedding. How's your diet. Diet never worked for me but it is worth a shot if you have not tried it yet. Try limiting or eliminating dairy and gluten and any high glycemic and processed foods for a few months.

Try to keep stress in check and pace yourself. It's a rough road and you may have to keep on trying and trying and trying till you find something but don't give up.

Thanks for the reply.

My my diet is quite good I would say, as I follow slimming world I eat a lot of fruit and veg and I rarely eat bad things.

I feel like I have to share what I've found after years of struggling with my skin. I struggled with acne all through high school and college and when I turned 22 it became constant cystic mostly on cheeks and chin. I also am a face picker so scabs and scars where a huge issue. The only thing that made a small difference was doxycycline but due to my picking my face still looked horrible.
Out of desperation I started using coconut oil. My skin is combination with a oily t zone, dry everywhere else. I was afraid it would make my break out worse but it actually reduced the swelling overnight and helped heal the scabs noticeable quicker! A noticeable difference with in a week. My over all skin looked better but I was still experience the painful monster pimples weekly.
Someone told me that apple cider vinegar was magic and the day after I tried it the cystic acne had shrunk and my skin glowed and looked over all less red.
i now have gone a month with only 2 significant pimples that resolved within two days. The redness of my skin has lessened as have my acne scars! Before this regimen when I would started hunting around my fave for pimples to pop I would always break out horribly the next day, but now, even if I'm actively trying to pop black heads they never turn into pimples!
my regimen:
Morning= wipe face with warm water then apply coconut oil or if I feel like I'm breaking out a benzoperoxide face cleanser followed by coconut oil.
Evening= benzoperoxide cleanser then I apply diluted ACV. When that dries I apply coconut oil. If I have a pimple or feel a break out I will do a 5 min sulfur facemask after I wash my face or put a 5% sulfur cream as spot treatment after I use the coconut oil.

My skin has not looked this good in years I am hoping it lasts!
