I have struggled with inflamed acne spots since my teens (now 25). I have tried a number of different treatments over the years including Antibiotics, retin cream,BP and so forth. One of the things that I have found to be most effective is sulphur powder. It may be a bit unconventional and is not the nicest smelling treatment,but this is now my go to remedy when I have really inflamed spots. I just mix a few pinches of sulphur powder with a simple facial moisturiser and apply directly to inflamed spots. Not saying this will work for everyone but it really helps my face and I wanted to share incase this could help others.
