For over a year now my skin has been having constant outbreaks of whiteheads. I have always had very clear skin and often got comments on how nice my skin was.

My skin was particularly bad last November where I was getting deep cystic type spots all over my face, neck and chest. My mum told me to try some probiotic drinks which helped my skin quite a bit. Which got me thinking maybe I had something going on in my gut and it was coming out in my skin (like my body releasing toxins).

The whiteheads are all over my face and even appear on my eyelids. I recently had a bout of nurovirus and literally didn't eat anything for a week. My skin never looked so clear.....so it makes me think that it is gut related (candida??).

I'm currently taking some high dose prebiotics to see if they help but no improvement as yet but its only been a week.

I know my spots probably aren't as bad as what some poor people get but it's not normal for me and it's getting me down. Dr prescribed some dalacin but it really drys my skin out and makes it itch.

I found a website in the US that sell a topical probiotic facial spray. I'm that desperate that I'm willing to try that.

Can anyone offer any other suggestions?

Thanks for reading.
