When I was 14/15 I used to get acne and many pimples all over my forehead but Im 17 now and my forehead is practically clear but I now have it all around my mouth and lower cheeks. It seems to have spread down my face. I researched it and apparently upper face is due to bacteria yet lower face is due to hormones, Ive tried the gedarel combined pill and am on month 3 yet nothing seems to have changed and I cant get rid of it!

Have you been taking antibiotics ? If so, the problem is most likely caused by fungus....

He meant if you have taken antibiotics JUST BEFORE this condition has appeared on the bottom side of your face.

If so, it can be that antibiotics have caused a fungus infection on your face. But I personally doubt this is caused by that.

No Ive been on lymecycline since it started on my forehead, its really tricky to pinpoint what it could be
