Spots I mean! At the grand old age of 40, which I have to admit is a long way away from my raging hormonal teenage years, you would hope not to get spots any more - but I've got a huge, really sore spot on my chin and it's really, really, really getting on my wick. It's sore, it's red, it's not squeezy yet, its sore and did I mention it's sore?!!
I have to fight this irresistible urge to poke it and squeeze it, it's driving me round the bend!!!!

This is the bizarre thing for me - I don't have periods any more (woohoo!) I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago but I still get the bloody spots!!!!

so you still have oils in your skin .....be happy about that the alternative is dry skin and more wrinkles
You're hormones are still working ............the alternative is dry skin and episodes of acne
be grateful
I never thought of it like that - thanks Fuzzy, I'll be more tolerant of them!!!:wah:

Are you sure its a spot? If its really red and sore it might be a midgy bite. Try using anthisan on it (buy it in Boots) and it should clear up in a couple of days.

Todays Spot Report!!
It's getting a nice squeezy head, I'm afraid I've never been able to resist squeezing spots, I know it could scar but my fingers just itch to poke and prob until it bleeds
.
I've been using witch hazel to get it to get a move on!!
